Point guard Jason Preston has signed a training-camp deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com. The 26-year-old will try to earn a roster spot in the NBA after missing the entire 2024-25 campaign with a calf strain. Preston started his pro career with the Clippers in 2022-23 and has also suited up for the Utah Jazz, making 21 total career appearances. The former Ohio Bobcat hasn't seen any success at this level so far, averaging only 2.5 points and 2.0 assists in 9.3 minutes. However, Preston has been impressive in the G League, notching 16.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Jason Preston gathered a double-double in the team's summer league win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. The 23-year-old posted 13 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists while shooting 5-for-13 from the floor. Preston has had a solid showing throughout the summer so far but still has some more to prove to separate himself from the pack. For someone that's participating in his third year of summer league, he'll need to put up some big games in their remaining summer action.
