LOS ANGELES — The Clippers are acquiring guard Norman Powell and wing Robert Covington from Portland in exchange for a package that includes Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow and Keon Johnson, a person with knowledge of the finalized deal confirmed Friday.
The trade could put the Clippers in position to make more deals ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline because Covington's $12.9 million contract expires following this season, and that money that could be used to match salaries to add another player later.
The Clippers also sent a 2025 second-round pick to Portland in the deal.
