The Los Angeles Clippers today exercised the club?s fourth year contract option on guard Shaun Livingston.

Livingston, who was selected by the Clippers as the fourth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, begins his third NBA season and is now signed through the 2007-08 campaign. Under the NBA?s Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Clippers had the right to exercise this contract option.  Livingston will now become a restricted free agent following the 2007-08 season, with the Clippers holding the right of first refusal.
