NBA News Roundup, Friday, August 16th: DeMarcus Cousins potentially ruled out for the season, L.A. Clippers complete veteran signing and more

Patrick Patterson to join the L.A. Clippers

Patrick Patterson failed to make much of an impact with the Oklahoma City Thunder

At the start of the summer, Patrick Patterson opted into the final year of his three-year deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, although the 30-year-old recently agreed to a buyout following the departures of Paul George and Russell Westbrook.

Upon his departure, Patterson was immediately linked with a move to Los Angeles with the Clippers, and ESPN is reporting that a deal has now been agreed:

Free-agent forward Patrick Patterson has agreed to a one-year, $2.3 million deal with the LA Clippers, league sources told ESPN.

Patterson joined the Thunder back in 2017 following an impressive spell with the Toronto Raptors. However, the veteran struggled to find a consistent role in Billy Donovan's rotation and Patterson averaged less than 15 minutes per game during his two seasons in Oklahoma City.
