Blair has spent time with the Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, and Washington Wizards throughout his career. Blair was named to the All-Rookie second team back in 2010 when he played in all 82 games and averaged 7.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

Last season with the Wizards he played sparingly appearing in just 29 games averaging just under eight minutes a night. Los Angeles currently has one of the strongest Development league teams in the association and look to continue to strengthen it with this move.
