Austin Rivers told the Los Angeles Times' Brad Turner that he's opting in on the final year of his contract with the Clippers.

Rivers, 25, is owed $12.6 million next season, the last of a three-year, $35-million contract he signed in 2016.

The son of Clippers coach Doc Rivers had his best statistical NBA season in 2017-18, averaging 15.1 points and four assists on 37.8 percent 3-point shooting.

The Clippers are still waiting to see if center DeAndre Jordan will opt in or out of the final year of his deal.
