Jahmyl Telfort returns to Clippers on Exhibit 10 camp deal

The Los Angeles Clippers have filled their final available preseason roster spot by signing free agent wing Jahmyl Telfort to an Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced Wednesday. The move brings back a familiar face to the organization and positions Telfort for another season in the club’s development pipeline.

Telfort back in Clippers system after G League-heavy rookie year

Telfort went undrafted out of Butler in 2025 but caught on with the Clippers last fall on an Exhibit 10 agreement. That deal was later converted into a two-way contract before opening night, giving him a foothold on the NBA roster until he was waived in December to create a spot for RayJ Dennis.

The 6-foot-7 swingman saw limited NBA action, appearing in eight games and logging 32 total minutes, but he was a regular for the San Diego Clippers in the G League during his first professional season. Over 47 G League outings, he averaged 14.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33.9 minutes, shooting 43.9% from the field, 33.1% from beyond the arc and 74.3% at the free throw line.

Telfort suited up for the Clippers’ Summer League squad for a second straight year in July, and this latest contract suggests he’s likely to report back to San Diego this fall. His Exhibit 10 deal includes the potential to earn a bonus of up to $91K on top of his base salary if he spends at least 60 days with the G League affiliate.

Blazers waive Jaylen Martin, Kings execute sign-and-waive with Trhae Mitchell

In Portland, the Trail Blazers waived guard Jaylen Martin on Wednesday, according to the NBA’s official transaction log. The expectation is that he will return to the Rip City Remix, Portland’s G League affiliate, after finishing the 2025/26 campaign there. Martin’s Exhibit 10 agreement is structured to provide a $45K bonus if he spends a minimum of 60 days with the Remix. Following his release, the Blazers are carrying 18 players, including three on two-way contracts.

The Kings handled Trhae Mitchell’s situation differently, completing a quick sign-and-waive maneuver, per the transaction log. Shortly after bringing him under contract, Sacramento waived Mitchell, a move designed to ensure he can receive a $21K bonus if he logs at least 60 days with the Stockton Kings in the G League. Stockton recently acquired his returning rights from the Laketown Squadron, clearing the way for him to join the Kings’ affiliate.

Collectively, these minor moves highlight how teams use Exhibit 10 contracts at the end of training camp to steer players toward their G League programs, secure bonus structures and retain a measure of control over developing talent without committing full NBA roster spots.
