Law Murray with The Athletic confirmed that Diabate signed a one-year deal and is on a two-way contract with the Clippers. What this means is that Diabate can play with the LA Clippers and their G-League affiliate the Ontario Clippers. The former Wolverine is allowed to play in 50 of the 82 games that Los Angeles plays under a two-way contract.
Diabate was selected with the 43rd pick in the 2022 NBA draft by Los Angeles after he plated one season in Ann Arbor. During his lone season with Michigan, the former five-star averaged nine points, six rebounds, and shot 54% from the field.
During the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, Diabate played in two games for the Clippers and he averaged 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and shot 70% from the field.
