Earl Clark recently played in Dwight Howard’s charity game that featured current Orlando Magic players taking on former members of the team. Clark suited up for the current squad, even though he’s a free agent and his future is up in the air. While he’s not currently under contract with the Magic, he has been working out in Orlando. He enjoyed his brief stint with the Magic last year and has made it clear that he wants to re-sign with the team. “Definitely, I don’t want to play anywhere else,” Clark told HOOPSWORLD. “Hopefully I can stay here, I want to. We’ll see what happens.” HoopsWorld

After signing with the Zhejiang Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association in September, Clark didn’t have the best experience overseas and eventually had to leave the team when his girlfriend had complications with her pregnancy. He left at the right time because now he’ll be able to test free agency on December 9. “I went over there for a little bit and, honestly, it wasn’t for me,” Clark said of his time in China. “I didn’t like it too much. I talked to the GM and they were very understanding. I had to be home with my family.” HoopsWorld

According to a source speaking anonymously with NiuBBall, Guangsha has been very active in trying to find a a high profile replacement for Earl Clark, who left the team in late September for personal reasons after becoming the first NBA player to sign in China in early August. But instead of merely replacing Clark, Guangsha has been looking to upgrade at the position. According to the source, the team had entered negotiations with several NBA free- agent big men over the past two weeks, including Los Angeles Clippers center, DeAndre Jordan, and Boston Celtics forward, Glen Davis. Though there was enough interest on the player side to have back-and-forth talks, the two ultimately walked away from Guangsha due increased optimism back in the United States that there will be an NBA season this year.

That's the biggest reason Clark is headed to the Chinese Basketball Association — he just wants to play. Clark officially signed a one-year deal with the CBA on Friday afternoon. "It is a good thing for Earl," said Happy Walters, Clark's agent. "He will get a lot of minutes, a lot of work on his game and 15-20 shots a game. He is young and he needs to be on the court." Orlando Sentinel

Clark, 21, has flashed signs of potential, especially as a lockdown defender. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said Clark's potential as a defender is "unlimited." Clark feels he needs to get on the floor to realize that potential. In China, his primary goal "is to get better," Walters said. "He has not had a lot of opportunities yet in the NBA."
