Clippers Sign Former Mavericks Center Sharp

For readers tracking NBA roster moves through Jeetbuzz Login, the Los Angeles Clippers have reached an agreement with free-agent center Jamarion Sharp on a two-way contract. His agent, Scott Nichols, confirmed the deal.

Born in August 2001 and approaching his 25th birthday, Sharp stands 7-foot-5 and weighs 236 pounds. He went undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft. Over the past two seasons, he signed several training-camp contracts with the Dallas Mavericks, but each time he was waived before the regular season and failed to make the final roster. Sharp also played for the Texas Legends, Dallas’ NBA G League affiliate. Last season, he appeared in 39 games and started 29, averaging 25.1 minutes, 7.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.0 steal, and 3.9 blocks per game. He shot 73.9 percent from the field, made no three-pointers, and converted 41.5 percent of his free throws.

During this year’s NBA Summer League, Sharp made seven appearances for the Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors, including one start. He averaged 16.0 minutes, 6.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 2.3 blocks. His field-goal percentage reached 75.0 percent, while his three-point rate remained at zero and his free-throw percentage was 42.9 percent. Fans checking player-development updates through Jeetbuzz Login can see that his strengths and limitations are unusually clear.

Sharp is an outstanding rim protector and strong rebounder whose defensive instincts have made him one of the G League’s leading interior defenders. He also received the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award last season. However, limited mobility and a lack of scoring versatility remain concerns that could affect his long-term NBA prospects. His defense is his calling card, but he still has work to do at the other end.

His arrival gives the Clippers additional frontcourt depth while Yanic Konan Niederhauser recovers from surgery on his right foot. The team has not announced a return timetable, but he appears unlikely to be ready for the season opener.

As supporters reviewing the Clippers’ roster through Jeetbuzz Login assess the move, Sharp can be added without forcing immediate changes elsewhere. Sean Pedulla and 2026 second-round pick Nick Martinelli already hold two-way contracts, and Los Angeles still has one available slot, allowing the club to complete the signing while keeping its current roster intact.
