Excel Sports Management and Jordan Clarkson of the Los Angeles Lakers parted ways last month. The Lakers rookie guard felt frustrated with the agency’s communication and conflicting information about marketing opportunities, according to a league source familiar with his thinking.
The Lakers selected Clarkson with the 46th pick in the NBA Draft. But he landed on the NBA’s All-Rookie first team.
Clarkson averaged 15.8 points on 45.8 percent shooting, five assists and 4.2 rebounds in 32.1 minutes through 38 games as a starter.
While Excel Sports Management represents numerous NBA clients, including Los Angeles Clippers forwards Blake Griffin and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love.
