Marreese Speights Opts Out of Clippers Contract, Will Test Free Agency

Marreese Speights will test free agency this summer after opting out of his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.               

Speights' agency, ASM Sports, announced his decision to opt out of his deal with the Clippers for the 2017-18 season Tuesday.

After spending the previous three seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Speights signed a two-year deal with the Clippers last summer. He made the veteran's minimum $1.4 million in 2016-17 and was due to make $1.46 million next season, per Spotrac. 

Speights, 29, played in a career-high 82 games for the Clippers. He averaged 19.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per 36 minutes and was worth 4.2 win shares coming primarily off the bench, per Basketball-Reference.com. 

The Clippers are facing many key decisions this offseason. Speights and J.J. Redick are both free agents. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin can also test the market.
