DeAndre Jordan has hired Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports Management as his new agent.

Jordan had been operating without an agent for the past two years.

With the Clippers discussing an extension with Jordan while also considering trade offers for him, the need for an agent became increasingly vital.

Jordan has a $24 million player option for 18-19 that he's likely to decline.

Jordan signed a four-year, $87 million contract with the Clippers in 2015.
