Average of 21.8 points per game + 4 of 11 wins in the regular season! Powell can sign 128.5 million for 4 years. Will he get what he wants?

May 4th, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Clippers lost to the Nuggets 101-120 away and stopped in the first round. After the game, ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks wrote an article about the contract prospects of Clippers guard Norman Powell. From the first day after the finals this year, Powell is eligible to sign a four-year, $128.5 million contract. However, considering that Powell is 32 this month and he has been dealing with durability issues – in only one season, Powell has played more than 60 games in just one season – this could put the Clippers on hold for more than two years (contract years).

Powell's salary this season is $19.24 million, and $20.48 million in the 2025-26 season.

Full game, Norman Powell made 4 of 11 shots for 32 minutes and 20 seconds, 0 of 3 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throw, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. In the regular season, Powell played 60 games, averaging 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%, setting a career high.
