Overview
- Clowney’s 2026/27 team option is now guaranteed at $5,414,034 after Brooklyn’s announcement on Wednesday.
- He is earning roughly $3.4 million in 2025/26, keeping his deal modest in cap terms as the team evaluates his development.
- The 2023 No. 21 pick appeared in 46 games last season, averaging 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 22.7 minutes.
- He shot 35.8% from the field and 33.3% from three with a heavy perimeter profile, attempting 261 threes to 111 two-pointers, and missed time with ankle sprains.
- He becomes eligible for a rookie-scale extension in the 2026 offseason and could reach restricted free agency in 2027, while the Nets waived Kobe Bufkin and Dariq Whitehead, automatically declining their 2026/27 options.
