Los Angeles Clippers sign Spanish rookie Baba Miller to four‑year deal

Spanish power forward Baba Miller, the 36th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, has signed a four‑year contract worth $9.6 million with the Los Angeles Clippers, with the first two seasons fully guaranteed. The Clippers view Miller as a long‑term project and among the potential steals of the draft, praising his versatility, defensive mobility and ball‑handling for a player of his size.

Miller impressed in the NBA Summer League, scoring 15 points and pulling down five rebounds in his debut and drawing comparisons to Jalen Johnson. He cited Luka Doncic as a personal role model, noting their shared experience in the Real Madrid youth system. The rookie joins a Clippers roster that is rebuilding after recent departures, including the trade of center Ivica Zubac, and is expected to compete for minutes in Inglewood.

The signing marks the first NBA draft selection from the University of Cincinnati for the franchise since 2018 and underscores the growing international presence in the league.
