The Clippers hope to maintain large salary space flexibility in the summer of 27, so they are not in a hurry to renew Powell s contract

HoopsHype famous reporter Michael Scotto looks forward to the Clippers' offseason operation talking about Norman Powell:

"The 32-year-old guard will be eligible for a contract extension after experiencing the best season of his career. However, given that Powell's contract amount for the 2025-26 season was $20.48 million, the Clippers are not rushing to renew his contract. Sources revealed that the Clippers hope to maintain a large cap space flexibility in the summer of 2027, and it is worth noting that only Zubac's contract amount for the 2027-28 season is currently confirmed. Powell's upcoming contract is also a valuable bargaining chip if the Clippers decide to turn to chasing star players by the trade deadline this offseason or next season. ”

Powell played 60 games this season, and averaged 21.8 points per game (the highest career) 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 interruptions, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%;

Powell played 7 games, averaging 16 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 interruptions per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 35%.
