LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Clippers have extended a qualifying offer to forward Steve Novak, making him a restricted free agent.
Los Angeles also announced Tuesday that guard Ricky Davis has exercised his contract option for the 2009-10 season and forward Brian Skinner has decided not to exercise his option for the upcoming season, which makes him an unrestricted free agent.
The Clippers also decided not to exercise their team option on guard Alex Acker.
Novak averaged 6.9 points and shot 42 percent from 3-point range in 71 games last season, his third in the NBA.
Under league rules, the Clippers had until Tuesday to make a qualifying offer to Novak. As a restricted free agent, he may sign an offer sheet with any team, but the Clippers can match.
