The Los Angeles Clippers are in discussion with free agent guard Sebastian Telfair and are considering a potential deal, league sources told RealGM on Sunday.

Telfair started this season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, averaging 8.4 points, 2.8 assists and 20.4 minutes in 16 games. Due to injuries to Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson, Telfair was thrust into a prominent role and had strong contributions early for the Thunder.

After being released in November, Telfair signed in China where he scored nearly 20 points per game for Xinjiang.

Behind Chris Paul and Austin Rivers, the Clippers have lacked depth at point guard since releasing Jordan Farmar, and Doc Rivers told reporters on Sunday afternoon that the Clippers are exploring a 10-day contract for a backcourt player.

Rivers has history with Telfair, coaching the 6-foot guard with the Boston Celtics during the 2006-07 season. Telfair also played for the Clippers in 2010.

Telfair, 29, has spent 10 NBA seasons with Portland, Boston, Minnesota, the Clippers, Cleveland, Phoenix, Toronto and Oklahoma City. For his career, he has played 564 NBA games and has averaged 7.4 points and 3.5 assists.
