Clippers Exercising Niederhauser’s Third-Year Option

The Clippers are picking up their rookie scale team option on Yanic Konan Niederhauser for the 2027/28 season, reports Law Murray of The Athletic ( Twitter link ). Niederhauser’s third-year option on his rookie scale contract is worth just over $3MM. That ’27/28 cap hit will now be fully guaranteed. The 30th overall pick in the 2025 draft out of Penn State, Niederhauser didn’t play much as a rookie last season.
