The LA Clippers receive a disabled player exception, but where should they spend it?
LA Clippers guard Patrick Beverly underwent surgery on his right knee and was reported to miss the remainder of the 2017-2018 season.

The league gave the team a consolation salary for the loss of one of the best defensive guards in the NBA.
Sources: The NBA has granted the Clippers a $2.75M disabled player exception for the loss of guard Patrick Beverley for the season.
