Los Angeles Clippers

Terance Mann’s Career Journey So Far

Terance Mann, a versatile guard who has been making a name for himself in the NBA, has recently signed a three-year, $47 million contract extension with the LA Clippers, according to insider sources. Mann, who will be turning 28 in the following month, reached a personal best last season, starting in 71 games and averaging 8.8 points, along with 3.4 rebounds.

Opportunity Beckons for Mann Following High-Profile Departures

With the exit of Paul George to Philadelphia through free agency and Kawhi Leonard’s cautious approach to his surgically repaired knee inflammation as he heads into next week’s training camp, Mann is poised for the most significant opportunity of his career to demonstrate his capabilities.

Mann expressed his enthusiasm about continuing with the team that has supported him since his early career days. “I’m thrilled to re-sign with the team that has been with me from the beginning,” Mann shared with Marc Spears of Andscape. “I’ve enjoyed an amazing five seasons with this organization and I’m eager to see where the journey takes us next.”

Clippers’ Future Plans With Mann

Chosen 48th overall in the second round in 2019, Mann is highly valued by the Clippers as a homegrown talent who has matured into a crucial starter capable of playing and defending across multiple positions. Following George’s departure, the Clippers signaled a shift towards a younger lineup, focusing more on competitive and defensive-minded players like Mann and Derrick Jones Jr.

While the Clippers might explore opportunities in the trade market in the future, Mann’s contract is immediately eligible for trade.
