Washington Jr. heads to the Suns’ rival down the road.
Another former Phoenix Suns guard heads to Los Angeles to join the Clippers.
First Bradley Beal, then Chris Paul, and now… Arizona native TyTy Washington Jr. heads to Los Angeles.
Free agent guard TyTy Washington Jr. has agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management tells ESPN. Washington, a 2022 first-round pick, enters his fourth NBA season after playing 16 games for the Suns in 2024-25.

Washington appeared in 16 games for the Suns in 2024-25, averaging 2.2 points and 1.0 assists per game in 7.4 minutes per contest. Washington, the former 29th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, has appeared in 58 games across three seasons for the Rockets, Bucks, and Suns.
He attended high school in Arizona (Cesar Chavez and AZ Compass Prep) and played his college ball at Kentucky.
In 21 games for the Valley Suns, Washington averaged 22.3 points, 7.2 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game on a 47/43/72 shooting split.
He showed he was too good for the G League, but didn’t capitalize on his opportunities in the NBA. The good news for him is that he is still just 23 years old, so there is plenty of time left for him to figure it out.
Phoenix adding Jared Butler and Jordan Goodwin all but closed the door on a Washington return to the Suns next season. Linked those stories above if you (somehow) missed those additions.
A tidbit on Washington’s contract status with LAC that I found browsing X:
Can confirm ESPN report that LA Clippers and TyTy Washington have come to an agreement, per source
The Clippers are at 14 standard contracts. They are highly unlikely to exceed that. Current two-way contracts: 2nd round rookie Kobe Sanders, Trentyn Flowers, Patrick Baldwin Jr.
