Professional career

After graduating from Colorado State University, Clavell signed a minor deal with the Brujos de Guayama in Puerto Rico. He played in three games for them around April 2017 before practicing for the 2017 NBA Draft. After going undrafted in the draft that year, Clavell joined the Miami Heat Summer League team. On July 23, 2017 he signed a partially-guaranteed deal with the Dallas Mavericks to join the preseason roster.[2] His contract would later be converted to a two-way deal, meaning throughout his time with the Mavericks, he would split playing time between Dallas and their NBA G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.[3] Clavell made his NBA debut on October 20, 2017 against the Sacramento Kings.

On November 17, 2017, the Mavericks waived Clavell from his two-way contract early to sign Antonius Cleveland.[4]

He joined the Golden State Warriors for the 2018 NBA Summer League. On August 3, 2018, Clavell signed a one-year deal with Movistar Estudiantes of the Liga ACB.[5][6]

In the summer of 2019, it was announced that Clavell will be joining the Portland Trail Blazers at NBA Summer League.
