Novak averaged 3.9 points while connecting on 34-of-71 three-pointers in 35 games for the Rockets last season.
"Steve is a terrific perimeter shooter who will definitely help open the floor and create more opportunities for our post players," said Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor. "We are happy to bring him to Los Angeles."
"We are pleased to add Steve to our roster," added head coach Mike Dunleavy. "He is an excellent shooter who will help us space the floor and keep defenses honest."
