DeAndre Jordan made the stunning decision to renege on his verbal agreement to sign with the Dallas Mavericks and instead re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, agreeing to a four-year deal that will pay him approximately $87 million.
According to a person with knowledge of the deal that Jordan signed when the NBA's free agency moratorium lifted at 12:01 a.m. ET Thursday, he has a player option after the third season of the contract. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because contract details are not typically disclosed.
