Clippers will trade Filip Petrusev to Kings, sources say

In a move to preserve roster flexibility, the LA Clippers are trading forward Filip Petrusev and cash to the Sacramento Kings, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Petrusev, 23, arrived in the James Harden trade from Philadelphia this week, and the Kings will now get a chance to evaluate him and see if he has a future with them.

The Clippers have 13 players under contract now.

Petrusev, who is from Serbia, was the 50th overall pick in the 2021 draft. He remained in Europe for two seasons before signing with the Philadelphia 76ers in July and joining the NBA.
