Nicolas Batum is set to return to the LA Clippers on a two-year, $11.5 million contract after opting out of his player option. The forward's experience and skills remain valuable as he enters his 18th season, likely his last. Known for his strong defense and 3-point shooting, Batum averaged just under 18 minutes last season but played a crucial role in the playoffs. Clippers management expressed their hopes for his return, underscoring his positive impact on the team and his contributions over the past five seasons.
Batum's versatility shined in the Clippers' first-round series loss to the Denver Nuggets, showcasing both his defensive skills and ability to score from beyond the arc.
Now heading into his 18th year in the NBA, Batum has already said there is a "very, very good chance" that this upcoming season will be his last.
