Jahmyl Telfort is on the LA Clippers roster as of Thursday, Oct. 8, moving from free agency with no team to a 21-man roster. No injury report preceded the transaction, and his contract is not on file yet.
The move
Jahmyl Telfort is on the LA Clippers roster as of Thursday, Oct. 8, per the team's official roster. The 25-year-old guard, who entered free agency with no roster, joins a 21-man group that includes 15 standard contracts and three two-way deals. No injury report preceded the move; none is logged for him. He is entering his second NBA season after appearing in eight games a year ago.
The money
Telfort's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Clippers' payroll sits at $193.7 million across 19 contracts for 2026-27, above the $165.0 million salary cap but below the $200.4 million luxury-tax line. Los Angeles is also under both aprons, the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron. Where Telfort's cap figure lands once reported will factor into those same thresholds.
The fit
Telfort played eight games last season, averaging 4.0 minutes, 0.1 points, 0.4 rebounds and 0.1 assists. He joins a backcourt and wing rotation from last season led by James Harden (35.4 minutes, 25.4 points), Kawhi Leonard (32.1 minutes, 27.9 points), Darius Garland (29.1 minutes, 19.9 points), Bennedict Mathurin (28.0 minutes, 17.4 points) and Kris Dunn (27.2 minutes, 7.3 points). Ivica Zubac, John Collins and Derrick Jones Jr. round out the rotation up front. The move brings the roster to 21 players.
