The move
Narcisse Ngoy is no longer on the Clippers' roster, according to the team's official roster as of Monday, Sep 21. The 22-year-old rookie center leaves Los Angeles for a spot off any roster, with no destination reported. No official report preceded the move; none is logged for Ngoy. He played no NBA line last season, and the Clippers have not announced who fills the vacancy at center.
The money
Ngoy's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a move by a day. The Clippers carry a payroll of $193.7 million across 19 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. Their first apron sits at $209.0 million and their second apron at $221.7 million, both above the current payroll figure. Because Ngoy's deal was never logged, his exit does not change any of those numbers on file.
The fit
Ngoy is a rookie with no NBA line from last season. The Clippers' rotation at center last season ran through Ivica Zubac, who averaged 30.9 minutes and 14.4 points a game. The roster now stands at 21 players, within the standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots. With Ngoy off the roster, who backs up Zubac at center is not addressed in what is on file.
Where does Ngoy go from here?
Not on the record. The roster move shows him leaving the Clippers with no destination reported.
Did an injury report precede this move?
No. No report is logged for Ngoy ahead of the move.
