After signing his two-way contract with the L.A. Clippers and their NBA G-League affiliate, the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario, in early January, Ty was eligible to spend 25 days of the season on the Clippers’ NBA roster. He’s used all of them, making 21 appearances, starting 12 games, and averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 27.7 minutes per game. He’s impacted games on the defensive end by guarding three positions, using his 6’6” frame and 6’10” wingspan. In transition, he’s been a phenom, sparking the Clippers’ attack and employing that same athleticism.
At 23 years old and in his first NBA season, whether or not Tyrone Wallace deserves to remain with the Clippers is beyond doubt—the real question is if it will be on a rest-of-season deal, or a multi-year deal.
