The Clippers intend to become a Wizards backcourt player for free agents, but his physical condition is worrying

According to Law Murray, a Clippers reporter in Los Angeles, Malcolm Brogdon is a name worth paying attention to for Clippers fans. Brogden, who earns $22.5 million this season, will soon be a full free agent this summer, and the Clippers may become his potential next home.

Murray said: I think Brogdon may be the Clippers' number one target this summer. They had almost obtained Brogdon through trades before. If he was bought out by the Washington Wizards before the trading deadline of this season, the Clippers might consider the possibility of signing him. The most important thing is that, overall, as a point guard, he has good shooting ability and also has advantages in body shape. He seems to be very consistent with the Clippers' current lineup at every point. Therefore, he will become the focus of the Clippers. Murray also noticed that Brogden has had a long-term cooperation with Michael Winger, the current Wizards general manager and former Clippers executive, and the relationship between the two is also quite good, which may also lead to the occurrence of this deal.

In the NBA regular season this season, Brogden has made a total of 24 appearances due to injuries, including 13 of which are the starters. He averaged 23.5 minutes per game, with averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 28.6%, and free throw shooting percentage was 88%. Brogden's performance actually has some highlights. With limited playing time, he also showed good scoring ability, passing and organizing ability, but because the Wizards' record is really poor and the personal abilities of other players are seriously insufficient, it is indeed difficult for Brogden to exert more influence on the game. On the other hand, it is actually not easy to perform like this in this situation.

In fact, Brogdon has no problem with his ability, which is why the Clippers had considered getting him through trades. Even the Clippers had already negotiated the content of the transaction with the Boston Celtics at that time, but because they didn't have time to conduct a physical examination of Brogdon, and his physical condition at that time was very worrying, Brogdon was unable to join the Clippers. Brogden's biggest problem is his potential injury. He has played less than 40 games in three seasons in the last four seasons. In the nine seasons of his entire career, he has played more than 60 games in only 3 seasons, and has played more than 70 games in only 1 season, and he has played more than 70 games in only 1 season, and he is also in his rookie season. In other words, Brogdon's attendance rate is simply outrageously low, and the team has to take a lot of risks when signing him.
