Earl Clark signs with Shandong Lions
Clark moves to China
Earl Clark signed a deal in China with Shandong Lions.
Per ESPN, Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that Clark is in the process of finalizing his release from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA D-League to make the move to China to join the Shandong Lions.
Clark started 36 games with the Lakers in 2012-13 and was the D-League's player of the month in November. He entered into contract talks with the Lakers after L.A. lost swingman Xavier Henry to its third season-ending injury of the young season, but team officials decided against making an immediate roster move, convincing Clark to jump on the offer with Shandong since the Chinese season ends in time to return to the NBA in the spring.
