Jalen Pickett Joins Los Angeles Clippers on Two-Way Contract

Jalen Pickett, a former guard for Penn State, has signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Clippers after spending the last three seasons with the Denver Nuggets.

The 26-year-old was selected as the 32nd pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and played a total of 50 games during the 2025-26 season, averaging 5.2 points, 2.3 assists, and 2.3 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per game. He has shown proficiency as a three-point shooter, hitting 38.7% of his attempts in the NBA.

After the Nuggets declined his $2.4 million team option for the 2026-27 season, Pickett became an unrestricted free agent. His new contract with the Clippers allows him to earn up to $678,882 and participate in as many as 50 regular-season games before he becomes a free agent again in 2027.
