Backup center Drew Eubanks is expected to be waived after playing in just 24 games for the Clippers, according to multiple reports.
The move, which erases $4.75 million in salary, gives the Clippers more space under the first apron of the salary cap.
Eubanks, a midseason trade acquisition, averaged 4.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.6 blocked shots off the bench for the Clippers. He joined the team, along with veteran guard Patty Mills, last February in a deal with Utah that sent Mo Bamba, P.J. Tucker, a 2030 second-round draft pick and cash considerations to the Jazz.
With veteran Brook Lopez, 37, joining the Clippers on a two-year, $18 million free agent deal, Eubanks became expendable. Lopez will now back up starter Ivica Zubac.
Eubanks, however, plans to sign with the Sacramento Kings on a one-year deal after he clears waivers, according to ESPN.
