Former USC Trojan DJ Rodman, son of Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, was signed earlier in July by the Los Angeles Clippers to finish out the NBA summer league.
Dennis Rodman last played in the NBA in 2000 for the Dallas Mavericks. He was a two-time champion with the Detroit Pistons, three times with the Chicago Bulls. He also played with the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers.
DJ Rodman began his collegiate career with the Washington State Cougars and then transferred to the USC Trojans, where he played the 2023-2024 season. After his brief stint with the Trojans, he earned a spot in the NBA summer league with the Los Angeles Clippers.
In 143 college games, he averaged 6.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and one assist. His best season was 2022-2023, when he had 9.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists while playing for the Washington State Cougars.
Rodman did not get extended playing time with the Clippers in the summer league. He simply isn’t at the top of the team’s list of primary options. He did not make the big imprint he was hoping for. The G League might be where he will play in the coming basketball season.
