  • Clippers Trade Wesley Johnson To Pelicans

    Wesley Johnson Traded to Pelicans from Clippers for Alexis Ajinca

    The New Orleans Pelicans acquired veteran forward Wesley Johnson from the Los Angeles Clippers for backup center Alexis Ajinca, ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Monday.

    According to Wojnarowski, the Clippers will waive Ajinca and 2017 second-round draft pick Jawun Evans as they trim their roster to 15 players for their opening game Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets.

    Los Angeles saves a little bit of money with the trade. Johnson will make a little over $6.1 million in 2018-19, compared to $5.2 million for Ajinca.

    Johnson, meanwhile, could fight for backup minutes at small forward behind E'Twaun Moore. The 31-year-old averaged 5.4 points and 2.9 rebounds for the Clippers in 2017-18, and he shot 33.9 percent from beyond the arc, which is almost equal to his career average (33.7 percent).
