Canadian Nate Darling earns two-way contract with Clippers

Halifax native Nate Darling has signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, earning the second NBA promotion of his career.

Darling, a six-six shooting guard, became the first person from Nova Scotia to play in an NBA game when he suited up for the Charlotte Hornets for seven games in the 2020-21 season.

This season, the 24-year-old sharpshooter is averaging 20.1 points while shooting 44 per cent from three in 19 G-League games with the Ontario Clippers.
