It's relatively rare for a player on a non-guaranteed training camp deal to earn a regular season roster spot. This is generally limited to one player every few years. This offseason, five players outplayed their camp invite status and seem to have stuck for the regular season.

This group includes: Isaiah Hartenstein (LA Clippers), Wayne Selden (New York Knicks), Dennis Smith Jr. (Portland Trail Blazers), Matt Thomas (Chicago Bulls), Brad Wanamaker (Indiana Pacers). Armoni Brooks could be included in this grouping as well, but his situation was somewhat unique given his re-signed status and conversion process as a former Two-Way player.

When a player makes an opening night roster on a training camp deal, their contract converts to a standard non-guaranteed contract. Prior to that happening, a camp deal doesn't count against the salary cap or tax, and there is no guaranteed salary.

Prior to this season, Dwight Howard was the last player to go from camp invite to roster. Howard made the Los Angles Lakers roster out of camp in 2019.

The Los Angeles Clippers have decided to keep Isaiah Hartenstein for their final open roster spot.

Hartenstein averaged 7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 blocks over four preseason games for the Clippers.

The LA Clippers have waived guard George King and big man Moses Wright. Both players were signed to non-guaranteed training camp contracts.

Both King and Wright are expected to play for the Agua Caliente Clippers of the G League as Affiliate Players this season.

LA has one more waiver to make to get into regular season roster compliance. That choice seems to have come down to Harry Giles and Isaiah Hartenstein, who have battled for a backup center role with the Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Terance Mann have agreed to a two-year, $22 million contract extension.

Mann has two years paying $1.78 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Mann averaged 7.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 18.9 minutes per game last season for the Clippers. Mann also had an expanded role in the playoffs, particularly following the loss of Kawhi Leonard. 

Jason Preston underwent surgery today in Los Angeles to repair ligaments in his right foot. Preston is expected to miss an extended period of time and there is no timetable for his return.

Preston was the 33rd overall pick in the draft.
