Blake Wesley is no longer on the Clippers' roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18. The move follows a Saturday report that the team was cutting him along with three other players.
The move
Blake Wesley, a 23-year-old guard entering his fourth season, leaves the Clippers' roster. The change was detected from the official roster on Sunday, Oct. 18. A day earlier, on Saturday, Oct. 17, Hoopsrumors reported "Clippers Cut Blake Wesley, Three Others," with confidence on that report not listed.
The money
Wesley's contract terms are not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or departure by a day. The Clippers currently carry $193.7 million in payroll across 19 contracts for 2026-27. That puts them over the $165.0 million cap but under the $200.4 million tax line, with the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Wesley played 31 games last season, averaging 11.6 minutes, 4.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The Clippers' guard minutes last season were led by James Harden at 35.4 minutes and 25.4 points, with Kris Dunn also logging 27.2 minutes. The Clippers now list 18 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
