Surprise face expected to make appearance on Clippers' summer league roster

With an early exit in the playoffs, basketball is officially back for the LA Clippers, as the NBA summer league is underway. Several players, both drafted and undrafted, with varying levels of experience, will have the opportunity to shine and impress the coaching staff, leading to a rare opportunity with the San Diego Clippers. 

Particularly, many will be watching the Clippers' first and second-round picks, Yanic Konan Niederhauser and Kobe Sanders, to gauge how their games will translate to the league, as well as a reasonable timeframe for their development.

Both have great mentors to learn from, and Niederhauser's just got even better, as Brook Lopez joins Ivica Zubac as a highly seasoned veteran to show how to encounter growth in the NBA.

However, two faces mixed in with the rookies and members of the G-League team are Jordan Miller and Kobe Brown. These two have already been developed and spent a chunk of the regular season (2025-26) on the active roster, yet will still be the first and second options for LA's summer league team.

Despite his experience, Brown's presence on the roster is understandable, as certain aspects of his game require attention for improvement. However, Miller comes as a major surprise. 

Jordan Miller will play on the Clippers' summer league roster and could receive massive amounts of minutes

Even with an official NBA contract, Jordan Miller is on track to suit up and star for the LA Clippers, and their hopes of becoming summer league champions. If he dominates as expected, Miller could easily win the MVP award.

This is an excellent way for Miller to get back into the groove of NBA basketball, as he only played 13 minutes in the playoffs. He will be on the hardwood, against talents with less experience, making scoring look seamless.

However, Miller has already proven himself in the summer league, as he dominated last summer. He played five games and averaged 25.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists, shooting 54.9% from the field and 60.0% from beyond the arc. 

If this is what he was able to put up following his rookie season in an average of 28 minutes per game, the predictions for this summer go beyond imagination, as there is a real chance he could average over 30 points on surreal efficiencies.

Nonetheless, Miller, looking like the best player of the entire summer league, is inevitable, and he will show the world that he is far too talented and does not belong, going into his third season.
