Ohm Youngmisuk: Clippers are waiving Blake Wesley and Jahmyl Telfort per source.
Jake Fischer: Former first-round pick Blake Wesley is signing a one-year deal with the LA Clippers, sources say.
The Blazers’ 15-man regular season roster features 10 players under guaranteed contract and two more — Vit Krejčí and Sidy Cissoko — with team options. The Blazers are expected to exercise both team options, giving them 12 players under contract. This leaves them with three unrestricted free agents: Robert Williams III, Matisse Thybulle and Blake Wesley. A team source told The Oregonian/OregonLive earlier this month the Blazers have interest in retaining all three players “if the deal makes sense.” And Williams, in particular, should be a priority.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Blake Wesley injured his right foot during Friday night’s game vs. Denver. Imaging conducted revealed a fracture to the fifth metatarsal base. A timeline for return to play will be determined at a later date.
The helter-skelter summer sent Blake into a funk. “It was my first time getting traded,” he said. “I was sad, man. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know my next move. Signed with the Wizards, was there for four days, got waived, then I got picked up. My whole summer was chaotic. It was a little depressing.”
