Adelaide 36ers Next Star Trentyn Flowers has become the latest NBL Next Star to land in the NBA, signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.
While the team is yet to officially announce the signing, Flowers received a phone call from Clippers management shortly after the completion of the NBA Draft, confirming the news.
"This is a great opportunity, and we are happy to have you, we are excited," coach Ty Lue told Flowers.
"I’m feeling amazing ... I’m here with all my family right now," Flowers said.
"This moment is priceless; I wouldn’t trade this for the world.
"I’m blessed, I can’t wait to get to work."
I wanted to thank all the fans in Adelaide, Australia! I enjoyed every moment with you. This was the draft of Hope! We are a Clipper💙 pic.twitter.com/u26HlEpspX

Flowers averaged 5.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in a little under 13 minutes of action for the 36ers across NBL24.
In a Round 4 win over Illawarra, he scored an incredible 18 points in a single quarter.
Flowers' signing means five of six eligible Next Stars have now been signed in the NBA from this season's program, with Rocco Zikarsky and Alex Toohey set to put their names forward in a year's time.
A phone call @FlowersTrentyn will never forget ❤️
