Terance Mann’s Career Journey So Far
Terance Mann, a versatile guard who has made a name for himself in the NBA, recently signed a three-year, $47 million contract with the LA Clippers, according to inside sources. Mann, who turns 28 next month, hit a career high last season, starting 71 games and averaging 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds.
Mann’s Opportunity Begs for Him After High-Profile Departure
With Paul George leaving for Philadelphia via free agency and Kawhi Leonard’s approach to surgically repaired knee swelling heading into next week’s training camp, Mann is ready for the most important opportunity of his career to showcase his skills.
Mann expressed his excitement at continuing with the team that has supported him since his early career days. “I’m excited to re-sign with the team I’ve been with since the beginning,” Mann shared with Andscape’s Marc Spears. “I’ve enjoyed five amazing seasons with this organization and I’m excited to see where the journey takes us next.”
Clippers’ Future Plans With Mann
Selected 48th in the second round in 2019, Mann is highly valued by the Clippers as a homegrown talent who has developed into a valuable starter who can play and defend in multiple positions. After George’s departure, the Clippers showed a shift to a younger roster, focusing more on competitive and defensive-minded players like Mann and Derrick Jones Jr.
While the Clippers may explore opportunities on the trade market in the future, Mann’s contract is immediately eligible for a trade.
