Jordan was a big part of the Clippers’ recent era of success. He was first-team All-NBA in 2016 and has twice been named first-team All-Defensive. He was also an NBA All-Star in 2017.
Jordan turns 30 next month. He’ll now head into free agency, where he’ll likely head to Dallas, a team he has been linked to frequently and that he spurned three years ago in free agency.
