Nathan Mensah is back with an NBA club. The LA Clippers signed the 6-foot-9 center from Ghana to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced. Mensah, 28, went undrafted in 2023 and spent part of the 2023-24 season on a two-way contract with the Hornets, appearing in 25 NBA games. He has also played in the G League, Greece, Romania and Turkey, and he suited up once for the San Diego Clippers last season. The deal points toward the G League: if he is waived in the coming days, he would be in line for a bonus worth up to $91,000 on top of his G League salary by spending at least 60 days with San Diego in 2026-27.

Mensah is a 6-foot-9, 230-pound lefty center who anchors the paint, rebounds and blocks shots without stretching the floor. In 25 NBA games with the Hornets he averaged 1.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 12.3 minutes, per Basketball Reference. As a San Diego State senior in 2022-23 he averaged 6.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 20.8 minutes over 39 games.
2025-26 season
After San Antonio signed and waived him in the 2024 preseason, Mensah played for the Austin Spurs in the G League before Olympiacos signed him midseason. He spent 2025-26 in Europe with the Greek club rather than returning to an NBA two-way or camp deal, per Hoops Rumors.
Career path
Born April 9, 1998, in Accra, Ghana, Mensah starred at Findlay Prep and played five seasons at San Diego State before going undrafted. Charlotte gave him his only NBA opportunity on a two-way in 2023-24; subsequent Spurs camp and Olympiacos stops followed.
