NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2012 ? The Los Angeles Clippers today assigned guard Eric Bledsoe to the Bakersfield Jam, the Clippers? NBA D-League affiliate. The assignment marks the 28th time an NBA player has been assigned to his NBA D-League affiliate during the 2011-12 season and is the first of Bledsoe's career.
Originally selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round (18th overall) of the 2010 NBA Draft, Bledsoe (6-1, 185, Kentucky) was traded to the Clippers on Draft night. In 81 games (25 starts) for the Clippers last season, Bledsoe averaged 6.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 22.7 minutes.
