Hunter Sallis is now on the Los Angeles Clippers roster, a move picked up from the team's official roster as of Saturday, Sept. 26. The 23-year-old guard joins from free agency and is one of 21 players now on the Clippers' roster for 2026-27.
The move
Sallis moves from free agency onto the Clippers' roster, a transaction confirmed by the team's official roster on Saturday, Sept. 26. No transaction report had logged the move beforehand, so there is no reporter or outlet tied to how the signing came together. The 23-year-old guard enters his second season after a rookie year with brief run. Beyond his presence on the current roster, no further detail on the path to Los Angeles is available.
The money
Sallis' contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and any guaranteed years are unavailable for now. The Clippers carry $193.7 million in salary across 19 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax. Los Angeles sits below both the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron. Where Sallis' eventual number lands within that payroll is not yet known.
The fit
Sallis played sparingly last season, appearing in 7 games at 3.7 minutes a night with 1.0 points, 0.1 rebounds and 0.6 assists. He joins a Clippers backcourt led by James Harden, who logged 35.4 minutes and 25.4 points a game last season, alongside Darius Garland at 29.1 minutes and 19.9 points and Kris Dunn at 27.2 minutes and 7.3 points. The Clippers now carry 21 players on the roster, above the standard 15-man limit plus three two-way spots, leaving Sallis' role to be determined.
