The LA Clippers have signed Terance Mann to a contract extension, it was announced by President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank.
“We place tremendous value on the competitiveness, consistency, durability and hard work that T Mann continues to demonstrate year after year. Since we drafted him in 2019, T Mann has turned himself into the ultimate glue guy, a two-way player who takes tough assignments and hits big shots. When we think about the qualities that make a young player a Clipper, we often wind up with a description of T Mann, and we’re thrilled he will remain a vital part of us.“
Mann, 27, appeared in 75 games for the Clippers last season, averaging 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists while shooting 51.5% from the field. The 6-foot-5 guard has played in 345 games across five NBA seasons since being selected by the Clippers with the 48th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He has averaged 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting 50.3% from the field. Mann has also appeared in the sixth-most playoff games in franchise history (43), averaging 6.0 points while shooting 50% from the field and 43.8% from beyond the arc. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native delivered one of the best playoff performances in franchise history, scoring 39 points and making seven three-pointers against Utah to lead the Clippers to their first Western Conference Finals appearance in 2021.
