The No. 46 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft joined the Knicks on a minimum contract which guarantees him $3.6 million for the upcoming season.</p><p>The move, as it happens, came to fruition after a call from his agent Rich Paul while he was attending a Carlos Alcaraz match at Wimbledon. Alcaraz had a strong run at the tournament and eventually lost in the final to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner.</p><p>“Where you wanna go?” Paul had asked him while he was attending the match on Centre Court. The response was simple.</p><p>“I said, ‘I wanna come to New York,’” Clarkson <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/07/sports/jordan-clarkson-joining-knicks-started-with-phone-call-at-wimbledon/" rel="noopener">revealed during his appearance</a> on The Roommates podcast which is hosted by Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, per the New York Post. This was followed by the Klutch Sports CEO relaying his interest to the franchise.</p><p>Clarkson had previously agreed to a buyout with the Jazz, with the franchise looking to build their future around younger players. He signed with the Knicks as an unrestricted free agent, partly because of the arena and the fans.</p><p>“The arena [MSG], honestly. Feeling the energy from the fans. Knowing they’re going to let you have it if you’re playing like s**t. But when you’re playing great, it’s all love. At the end of the day, I just want to feel the energy. Get to play with y’all [Brunson and Hart],” he said.</p><p>The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 37 games last season for the Jazz. He shot almost 50% from the field and had a healthy 36.2% efficiency from the 3-point line on 6.3 attempts per game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/how-knicks-jordan-clarkson-addition-gives-bench-a-spark-it-badly-needed">Clarkson is not expected to slot into the Knicks’ starting five</a> and is likely to be used as an off-the-bench scoring threat.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

More importantly, he brings valuable playoff experience and a relentless offensive mindset.</p><p>For Brunson and Hart, this move is about more than numbers. It’s about identity.

After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/how-2024-25-knicks-improved-on-last-seasons-success">the Knicks rounded out their starting unit last offseason</a>, the Knicks recently reached an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-jordan-clarkson-sign-contract-new-york-jazz-buyout">agreement with former Sixth Man of the Year winner Jordan Clarkson</a>.</p><p>The 6-foot-3 guard will join the team for <a href="https://x.com/SbondyNBA/status/1939860221309882854" rel="noopener">the veteran’s minimum</a>, according to the New York Post’s Stefan Bondy. And he will be a welcomed addition to the team’s bench, which was in dire need of scoring and playmaking help this past season.</p><h2><b>Knicks add important spark to its second unit</b></h2><p>The Knicks’ bench was an area of need for the team entering this offseason. After solidifying its starting unit last Summer with the addition of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, New York’s bench was relatively depleted partially due to the two-for-one trade they swung for Towns.</p><p>The Knicks’ bench was  near the bottom of the league in terms of minutes per game through the regular season, which was also the case for the 2025 NBA Playoffs. And they received limited scoring support as well. The Knicks’ bench scored the second-fewest points per game through the playoffs.</p><p>But Clarkson should help with bench depth and scoring. He is a dynamic scorer who can create for others when properly motivated. Clarkson averaged 16.2 points in 26 minutes per game last season for the Utah Jazz. And he connected on 36.2% of his 3-point attempts, which he averaged 6.3 attempts per game.</p><h2><b>Clarkson addition should unlock additional lineup possibilities</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Jordan-Clarkson-Jazz-Knicks.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Clarkson’s bench scoring was badly needed. But his presence also enables additional lineups. Assuming everyone enters the 2025-26 season healthy, the Knicks can start Jalen Brunson, Bridges, OG Anunoby, Towns, and Josh Hart, Miles McBride, or Mitchell Robinson.</p><p>Two of Hart, McBride, and Robinson will anchor its bench along with Clarkson, which makes for an impressive eight-man rotation.</p><p>Clarkson can capably play point guard or shooting guard. He may not be an All-NBA defender, but Clarkson is a better and more willing passer than most people think. Over the past two seasons, Clarkson posted an assist percentage of 22.9% in 2024-25, which better than McBride, Hart, and Bridges.</p><h2><b>Why is Clarkson signing meaningful? </b></h2><p>The Clarkson signing was the team’s first meaningful move of the 2025 offseason. He will immediately improve the team’s depth and playmaking. And the fact the he selected the Knicks is an important and underappreciated aspect to the addition.</p><p>Clarkson agreed to a buyout of his contract with the Jazz that would have paid him $14.3 million. That is telling. Clarkson clearly wants to compete for a championship.</p><p>He has played in only 43 playoff games across his 11-year NBA career. And after reaching the NBA Finals (and losing) with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017-18, he has not gotten past the second round. The Knicks give him a great chance of doing exactly that.</p><p>Clarkson is hopefully the first of a few offseason moves for the Knicks. New York doesn’t have many remaining needs to fill in free agency, unless Giannis Antetokounmpo decides to request a trade—<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-rumors-giannis-antetokounmpo-not-pleased-damian-lillard-exit">which may be closer than we think</a>.</p><p>Assuming the Knicks can lock down one or two additional impact guys, they will be incredibly prepared for an even deeper run next season. And the injuries to and moves made by the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers indicate an even easier path to the NBA Finals for the Knicks in 2026. Still, a lot has to go right to get there.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Knicks were <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-rumors-new-york-linked-jordan-clarkson-jazz-buyout">first linked to Clarkson</a> on Monday after news of his buyout broke.</p><p>Clarkson was the first Jazz player to win Sixth Man of the Year when it was awarded to him for the 2020-21 season. He averaged 18.4 points per game that season, a career-best at the time. Clarkson’s average scoring output of 20.8 points per game in 2023 beat that mark.</p><p>The 33-year-old Clarkson only played 37 games last year due to a foot injury. He underwent a procedure to address the plantar fasciitis in his left foot in late March that ended his season.</p><p>Before that injury ended his season, Clarkson was giving the Jazz solid production in his 26 minutes per game. The veteran scorer averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 0.8 steals per game.</p><p>Clarkson also threw in 2.3 3-pointers a night, making 36.2 percent of his 6.3 average 3-point attempts. His 16.2 points per game was the fifth-highest average scoring contribution of his career.</p><p>Clarkson played a large role for the Jazz on offense last season. He recorded a 27.0 usage rate that was in the 92nd percentile among all NBA players in the 2024-25 campaign. When on the court, he assisted 23.8 percent of his teammates’ makes – more than 85 percent of NBA players last season.</p><p>The Jazz may have exposed themselves to diminishing returns in regard to Clarkson’s workload when he was healthy. Their <a href="https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/player/653/onoff#tab-team_efficiency" rel="noopener">efficiency differential decreased</a> by 1.1 points when he was on the court. Their offense scored 1.9 fewer points per 100 possessions when he played, per Cleaning the Glass.</p><h2><b>Clarkson provides veteran scoring punch for Knicks’ bench</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Jordan-Clarkson-Jazz-Knicks.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Clarkson did show last season that he had refined parts of his offensive game. His 21.5 free-throw rate, 87th percentile, ties for his fourth-highest. The Jazz made 2.8 more free throws per 100 field goal attempts when he was playing. That differential in free-throw rate was in the 85th percentile in the league last season, per Cleaning the Glass.</p><p>Clarkson is a 33.6 percent 3-point shooter for his career. In the 2023-24 season, he made just 29.4 percent of his 5.6 attempts from downtown per game. His 36.2 3-point shooting percentage this past season was the fifth-best of his career thus far. His 6.3 attempts per game were the result of his fourth-highest career 3-point shooting volume.</p><p>Once <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/why-knicks-tom-thibodeau-must-consider-expanding-lineup-before-playoffs">the Knicks expanded their rotation last season</a>, veterans like Delon Wright and Landry Shamet made key contributions to the team’s playoff run. The team entered this offseason knowing it needed to replace the production it got from those players.</p><p>Clarkson, bought out by the Jazz on Monday, was <a href="https://x.com/StevePopper/status/1939809546672730499" rel="noopener">an ‘unexpected find’</a> for New York at a ‘low cost,’ per Steve Popper. His deal with the Knicks is expected to be for <a href="https://x.com/SbondyNBA/status/1939860221309882854" rel="noopener">the veteran’s minimum</a>, according to Stefan Bondy.</p><p>Clarkson doesn’t have a positive defensive reputation. As a result, he doesn’t slot in cleanly next to All-NBA guard Jalen Brunson. He’ll be a reserve for New York. But he’ll be a valuable piece when they want to turn to their bench for scoring.</p><p>The Knicks are still searching for their next head coach. New York will continue to fill out its roster as free agency progresses. For now, they can say they’ve added a seven-year NBA scorer for as low of a cost as possible. Clarkson has <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1939864194196922792" rel="noopener">the most points</a> off of the bench in the NBA since 2020.</p><p>Whether or not guard Deuce McBride starts for the team next season, Clarkson can help provide scoring off of the bench. On a low-risk, low-cost minimum contract, it’s a nice add for the Knicks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now, rumors are swirling that one of the teams linked to Clarkson is none other than the New York Knicks.</p><p>The Knicks were named as a <a href="https://x.com/nbasarah/status/1939759939603632559" rel="noopener">potential landing spot</a> shortly after he agreed to the buyout, according to Jazz beat reporter Sarah Todd of Deseret News.  Nothing is set in stone yet, but Clarkson could be heading to New York soon after 6 p.m. EST when free agency officially opens.</p><p>“Can confirm the news that Jordan Clarkson is finalizing a buyout with the Jazz, and it looks like the Knicks might be the landing spot.”</p><p>The 33-year-old guard has been a solid scorer throughout his career, especially coming off the bench. If he does end up signing with the Knicks, then New York would be acquiring a solid contributor who can improve the depth of the roster overall. Last season, Clarkson averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 40.8% from the floor and going 36.2% from beyond the arc.</p><p>Clarkson is coming off a 2024-25 campaign that saw him struggle with injuries. Although he played well when healthy, he only participated in 37 games for the Jazz last season. Jordan Clarkson was forced to undergo a procedure to deal with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. However, he is expected to be fully healthy by training camp.</p><p>New York might be one of the busiest teams in free agency, as rumors have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-rumors-russell-westbrook-linked-ny-free-agency">the Knicks inquiring about Russell Westbrook</a> as well. That’s two veteran guards that bring plenty of experience to the table for a team that suffered another early exit from the playoffs.</p><p>Look for rumors to ramp up with teams across the league aiming to improve their rosters for next season. The Knicks have an opportunity to make some big splashes while still finding a new head coach as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It appears there were no takers, as Clarkson and the franchise are agreeing on a buyout.</p><p>Clarkson, who is 33 years old, will <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1939757619960230003" rel="noopener">now become a free agent</a> after agreeing to a contract buyout with the Jazz, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Reports indicate that teams with playoff aspirations next season are already showing interest in potentially signing the 2021 Sixth Man of the Year Award winner.</p><p>“Jordan Clarkson is finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN. Clarkson will target contending teams for his new home — with interest from multiple playoff teams already expected.”</p><p>Clarkson only played in 37 games for the Jazz last season, as he decided to undergo a procedure to deal with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

He was eventually dealt to the Jazz in the 2019-2020 season.</p><p>This is the first time in Clarkson’s career that he is available in the NBA free-agency pool. We’ll see how it plays out, but based on Charania’s reporting, it sounds like Jordan Clarkson will sign a new contract at some point this offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jazz’s frontcourt was already facing a bit of a logjam, but they still brought Nurkic in — even having to attach a second-round pick to Sexton just to do so. This is signaling a bit of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/hornets-news-charlotte-acquires-collin-sexton-jazz-jusuf-nurkic">change in focus for the Jazz</a>, who appear to be committing to their young guard core that’s only going to get better with the recent selection of Ace Bailey in the 2025 NBA Draft.</p><p>It doesn’t appear as though the Jazz are done making moves anytime soon. In fact, some believe that the Sexton for Nurkic trade is only the first domino in what could be a series of moves leading up to a big trade. Nonetheless, it seems like Utah, for better or for worse, <a href="https://x.com/andyblarsen/status/1939486913507062179" rel="noopener">will be stuck</a> with a veteran piece in Jordan Clarkson, whom they cannot find any takers for.</p><p>“The Jazz would like to trade Jordan Clarkson but there is next to no interest on the trade market right now. Simply has not had a very good last two seasons and is on the wrong side of the age curve,” Andy Larsen, Jazz reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune, reported on his official account on X.</p><p>This nuggets of information from Larsen is in line with ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel’s reporting that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/siegels-scoop-latest-warriors-jonathan-kuminga-nba-free-agency-intel">Jazz have been in trade talks</a> with multiple teams regarding Clarkson. Alas, the problems outlined above will make it difficult, if not impossible, for Utah to find a taker for him.</p><p>Clarkson has been with the team since the 2019-20 season and has seen many ups and downs for a Jazz team that hasn’t been able to get back in the playoff hunt ever since they began to embark on a rebuild in 2022. And it’s looking very likely at this point that Clarkson will simply run his contract down with the Jazz, as he is in the final year of his deal set to make around $14.3 million for next season.</p><h2><b>Jordan Clarkson’s value takes major hit amid Jazz rebuild</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bill-Simmons-hints-at-Lauri-Markkanens-trade-availability-2.jpg"><figcaption>Chris Nicoll-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Over the past two seasons, the Jazz have been much more brazen with their tanking ways, sitting out their best players (including Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, and John Collins, just to name a few) in the final few months of the season so they could improve their odds of winning the first overall selection of that year’s draft.</p><p>Clarkson’s value, as a result, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/utah-jazz/jazz-news-jordan-clarkson-drops-hint-potential-offseason-trade">has taken a major hit</a>. He played in just 37 games this past season, and while he can still put up points in bunches (he averaged 16.2 points in just 26.0 minutes per night), his scoring efficiency is beginning to dip. Making matters worse, he’s already 33 years of age, so he is on the decline and his production is set to dip even further as the years go.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s made them competitive when it’s been easy for them not to be.</p><p>For a young coach like Will Hardy, it must be a privilege to have someone who won’t cause friction in the locker room. Most importantly, Clarkson comes in and does his job.</p><p>“Whatever is on my plate, I’m taking advantage of it,” Clarkson said. “If that’s being here and being a vet and doing that, do I want that? Probably not. But if that’s what I got to do to be a pro, coming here and working every day and helping these young guys develop, that’s just what I got to do.”</p><p>Some <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/utah-jazz/jazz-trade-candidates-2024-25-season">teams would love to trade for a player like Clarkson</a>. For instance, the Orlando Magic could use a guy who can create his offense off the bench.</p><p>While they’ve been elite defensively and have elite starters, they don’t have that <a href="https://thejnotes.com/jazz-may-have-found-needed-prime-scorer-they-can-turn-rumors-into-trade" rel="noopener">go-to scorer</a> off the bench. Clarkson could be a spark for them.</p><p>“I would love to be playing meaningful basketball, winning games,” Clarkson said. “Would I love to do that here? For sure, I wouldn’t trade that for nothing. But…you don’t know what’s gonna happen in the summertime or what’s happening next season.</p><p>“But yeah, having a chance to win, I know I could play at a high level and play meaningful games. I think it would mean a lot to me.”</p><p>This warning shot might give the Jazz time to put an adequate trade package together and do right by their guard.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Detroit Pistons</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Utah Jazz (6-20) and Detroit Pistons (11-17) are both in varying stages of a rebuild and are just trying to figure things out. Frustrations can boil over when competing under those type of circumstances, though. Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson and Pistons players Ron Holland II and Paul Reed <a href="https://x.com/nbapr/status/1870604042927501528?t=vnLDgTn4yNZudl1UzUUjJA" rel="noopener">are being fined</a> for the roles they played in a tense exchange in Thursday’s matchup in Little Caesars Arena.</p><p>Reed appeared to shove Clarkson on his way down the court after making a bucket in the second half, causing the latter to seek retaliation. He eventually crossed paths with Holland, and the two men squared up a la a hockey fight. No punches were thrown, but both players were ejected nonetheless. Apparently, the league does not deem the punishment to be sufficient.</p><p>Clarkson is being forced to fork over $35,000 for “escalating an on-court altercation and throwing his headband into the spectator stands following his ejection,” NBA Communications said in a statement. Holland is being fined $25,000 and Reed will pay $15,000 for “initiating the altercation.”</p><p>It is odd to see the catalyst of the confrontation get fined less than the two other players, but maybe the league considers Reed’s shove to be inadvertent. In any case, the message is clear. Skirmishes are strictly forbidden, even if contact is minimal.</p><h2><b>Jazz and Pistons move forward</b></h2><p>The Jazz pulled out a road victory without <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ranking-the-10-nba-stars-with-the-best-bags-in-history">offensive sparkplug Jordan Clarkson</a>, 126-119, and will try to build momentum in Saturday’s game versus the Brooklyn Nets. The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year figures to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-player-must-traded-soon">a trade candidate</a> ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, and his energy is something Salt Lake City would surely miss. He is averaging 15.1 points and 3.8 assists this season.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Pistons are likely kicking themselves after failing to protect their house against Utah. They begin a West Coast road trip, starting with a Saturday night meeting with the Phoenix Suns, so positive results could be tough to come by over the next week.</p><p>Ron Holland II, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, will look to use his encounter with Clarkson as fuel for the upcoming stretch. Despite shooting a paltry 21.1 percent from 3-point range, he is doing well with the opportunities that head coach JB Bickerstaff is giving him. Holland is scoring 6.3 points on 46.6 percent shooting in 16.2 minutes per contest. His growth will be one of the most important narratives to follow for the remainder of the Pistons’ campaign.</p><p>Expect the three players who were fined to carry an extra edge in their respective games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Clarkson is considered to be a walking bucket. He currently stars for the Utah Jazz in the NBA. In his seasoned basketball career, Clarkson is an All-Rookie First Team player and was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-jordan-clarksons-one-word-post-after-making-history-in-sixth-man-of-the-year-win">crowned the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2021</a>.</p><p>Considered to be a spark plug off the bench, Clarkson is one of the most reliable scorers when his team needs to put points on the board. Given Clarkson’s impact in the NBA, have you ever wondered what kind of cars a NBA star like him drives? Well, wonder no more. Here is Jordan Clarkson’s incredible $256K car collection, with photos.</p><p>Clarkson has been in the NBA since 2014. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jordan-clarkson-net-worth">Clarkson has a net worth</a> of around $25 million. In the 2023 offseason, the onetime NBA Sixth Man of the Year winner signed a two-year contract extension that pays around $28 million. As of late, the Filipino-American guard has been on the trading block.</p><p>With Clarkson’s skills, the high-scoring guard should prove to be valuable for any playoff contender given that the Utah Jazz are currently in the midst of their rebuilding chapter since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-twitter-loses-its-mind-over-timberwolves-trading-4-1st-round-picks-to-jazz-for-rudy-gobert">breaking up the All-Star duo of Rudy Gobert</a> and Donovan Mitchell. In 2020, Clarkson signed the largest contract of his NBA career, which was a four-year deal worth nearly $52 million.</p><p>Apart from a lucrative NBA career, the Utah Jazz scorer has also nabbed a few endorsement deals. These include partnerships with LG Audio, DoorDash, Panini, SmartBro, Arena Plus, Armani Beauty, and many more. As a result, Clarkson can afford to live a lavish lifestyle. This includes owning the keys to a <a href="https://www.topgear.com.ph/features/feature-articles/jordan-clarkson-lamborghini-urus-a962-20210524" rel="noopener">pair of premium rides</a> for his daily use.</p><h2><b>2.

For this elite sports car, the former NBA Sixth Man of the Year probably shelled out around $45,000.</p><p>Although it’s the cheapest car in Clarkson’s garage, there’s no doubt that the Corvette certainly makes its presence felt anywhere it goes. As a result, any car collector will agree that the Corvette isn’t cheap by any means.</p><p>In terms of features, the Corvette stands out, thanks to its sporty design, coupled with a luxurious interior. As a result, Clarkson should have no problems in terms of speed and style while taking it out for a spin around the city.</p><p>Furthermore, this top-of-the-line sports car also features a solid interior, which should provide Clarkson a comfortable and cool driving experience. In addition to the already awesome features in place, Clarkson even had his Corvette customized by Champion Motoring.</p><p>The Corvette can reach a maximum speed of 198 mph with the assistance of a six-speed manual transmission. Moreover, it derives its power from a 6.0-liter V8 engine, allowing it to produce 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, it only requires a little less than four seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph.</p><h2><b>1.

The Urus is a high-performance luxurious SUV, making it one of the highlights of the Jazz player’s garage. It’s safe to say that the former All-Rookie First Team player is a huge fan of lavish vehicles.</p><p>The Urus provides the market with a SUV that features super car qualities. This should allow Clarkson and his loved ones to roam around the city with style. Furthermore, the Urus is also capable of handling off-road situations, which make it an ideal vehicle for those long road trips that may require passing through some of the most difficult terrain and conditions.</p><p>Furthermore, this top-tier SUV should also provide enough legroom interior-wise while possessing sufficient cargo space. Thanks to its interior, the Urus provides comfort without sacrificing performance. In fact, the Urus is like a super car with the practicalities and benefits of a versatile SUV. Like the Corvette, Clarkson also had some customizations done on his Urus.</p><p>Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the Urus produces 641 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. It relies on an eight-speed automatic transmission and can peak at 190 mph.

Even though the Mavericks were without Kyrie Irving, the odds were still stacked against the Jazz on the night. But no one told Jordan Clarkson and John Collins that as they spearheaded Utah’s 115-113 victory that was aided in the end by an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-john-collins-hero-moment-mavericks-spoils-luka-doncic-huge-night">inexcusable defensive mistake from Luka Doncic</a>.</p><p>With the game tied at 113, the Jazz decided not to take a timeout — with this proving to be the best decision for Will Hardy and company. Off the inbounds, Clarkson took control of the basketball and was isolated against Naji Marshall at the top of the key. Clarkson then sensed that the Mavericks were out of sorts on defense during that possession, and he and Collins ended up being on the same page — with the Jazz guard’s eyes <a href="https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1857279965810892920" rel="noopener">telling the whole story</a> before he dished the rock to Collins.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jordan Clarkson knew John Collins would be open. 👀🔥</p><p> <a href="https://t.co/kct0WCU8Cq">pic.twitter.com/kct0WCU8Cq</a> <a href="https://t.co/HWfUAWlg5t">https://t.co/HWfUAWlg5t</a></p><p>— Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1857279965810892920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>To start the possession, Doncic had already assumed a free-roam position. Clarkson, however, bided his time. The Jazz guard then saw Quentin Grimes assume a higher defensive position, and by then, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-luka-doncic-takes-blame-brutal-late-game-error-loss-jazz">Doncic was caught in no man’s land</a> — opening up the passing lane for Clarkson to hit Collins on what ended up being a wide-open dunk.</p><p>This game is the perfect example of why veteran talent is necessary to keep around even on rebuilding teams. Without Clarkson and Collins, it’s likely that the Jazz still have not won a single game this season. The future of the franchise may be resting on the shoulders of the younger players, but in crunch time, having experienced players is crucial, especially for a rebuilding team that’s in desperate need of building some winning habits.</p><h2><b>Jordan Clarkson and John Collins rescue Jazz from a choke job</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jazz-guard-Jordan-Clarkson-00-reacts.jpg"></figure><p>With 11:20 left in the fourth quarter, it looked as though the Jazz were going to run away with the game after they took a 101-85 lead over the Mavericks. But even with Luka Doncic on the bench, the Mavs mounted a furious comeback, with Naji Marshall doing a ton of damage as he pushed the pace on multiple occasions for Dallas.</p><p>In the end, the Jazz had to rely on their veterans to take them across the finish line as the victors. Jordan Clarkson and John Collins combined to score the Jazz’s final nine points of the game, with the latter, of course, dealing the decisive blow against the Mavericks.</p><p>When the Mavericks took a 110-108 lead with 1:33 to go, it was Clarkson that took Quentin Grimes all the way to the cup for an and-one layup. The Jazz then followed that up with a Collins dunk, giving them a 113-110 lead. After Klay Thompson tied the game with a triple, Clarkson and Collins then combined to strike the dagger into the Mavs’ hearts — with Clarkson <a href="https://x.com/millerjryan/status/1857289147603705881" rel="noopener">recalling his mind-meld</a> with Collins during that very scenario.</p><p>“I’m just happy me and John had some like, telekinesis action going on. I mean, just read my eyes and knew what I was looking for,” Clarkson recounted, per Ryan Miller of KSL.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Everyone in Utah was tuning in to see how their new hockey team would fare, and that included Utah Jazz star guard Jordan Clarkson, who was pretty fired up to see the Hockey Club make their professional debut.</p><p>Clarkson has spent the past four-and-a-half seasons playing for the Jazz, and he’s become invested in the surrounding Utah region as a result. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise he tuned in to watch the Hockey Club take on the Blackhawks, and he shared his <a href="https://x.com/JordanClarksons/status/1843860681411661942" rel="noopener">fired up reaction</a> as they opened their season with a big victory.</p><p>Via Jordan Clarkson:</p><p>“That hockey vibe in utah up close is too insane! such a vibe 🔥 city too turnt!

There’s no doubt that sports fans in Utah are fired up for both the Hockey Club and the Jazz’s upcoming season, and with things getting off to a great start for the Hockey Club in the NHL, Clarkson and the Jazz will look to put together a similarly strong start when their season kicks off on October 23rd.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Last August, Kuzma toured in the Philippines. The Filipinos gave him a warm reception and was treated like a celebrity. It appears that the Washington Wizards star appreciated the reaction he got from the Philippine crowd and is willing to go as far as representing the national team.</p><p><a href="https://all-starmagazine.com/athlete/kyle-kuzma-open-to-playing-for-gilas-with-jordan-clarkson/" rel="noopener">During an interview</a> with All-Star Magazine, Kuzma opened up about the possibility of playing with Clarkson again. However, this time around it could be for Gilas Pilipinas. The Wizards star said that although his priority is to play for Team USA, he wouldn’t mind suiting up for the Philippines if the opportunity presents itself.</p><p>“I mean, if I didn’t play for Team USA, I mean, I could rock out with [Jordan Clarkson],” Kuzma said in the interview. “That would be cool.”</p><h2><b>Is it possible for Kyle Kuzma to play with Jordan Clarkson in the Philippine national team?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Kyle-Kuzma-posting-up-against-Jordan-Clarkson.jpg"><figcaption>© Christopher Creveling-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-ex-la-teammates-jordan-clarkson-kyle-kuzma-have-eye-popping-reunion-in-new-york">Jordan Clarkson and Kyle Kuzma used to be teammates</a> during their time with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2017-18 NBA season. While their time together may have been brief, the two stars built and maintained their friendship over the years. Now the stars of their respective teams, it has been eight years since the duo joined forces. However, Kuzma is hinting that there’s a possibility of him teaming up with Clarkson again by suiting up for Gilas Pilipinas.</p><p>The question now is, can Kuzma play for the Philippine team? The Washington Wizards star can play for the Philippines as long as he becomes a naturalized Filipino. However, the process of doing so takes a hefty amount of time. If Kuzma genuinely plans on suiting up for Gilas, the best thing to do would be to take immediate action.</p><p>Hypothetically speaking, Kuzma does end up becoming a naturalized Filipino, can Gilas accommodate two foreign players on their team? Unfortunately, the answer is no. According to FIBA’s rules, only one naturalized player is allowed per team. Clarkson is already occupying that spot. Unless the Philippines would allow him to represent the team as a local player, the pairing of Clarkson and Kuzma is unlikely to happen given the current situation.</p><p>The probability of fans witnessing the unison between <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-kyle-kuzma-jordan-clarkson-react-to-las-epic-game-1-win-over-stephen-curry-warriors">Clarkson and Kuzma</a> would be in the NBA. There might come a time when the two stars end up on the same team again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
