LA Clippers 2026-27 season outlook
On average the Clippers have scored 106.5 and allowed 108.0. They’re 1-1 at home and 0-2 on the road.
The Clippers went 42-40 in 2025-26 and finished ninth in the West. Golden State beat them 126-121 in the play-in on 15 April. In February they had traded James Harden to Cleveland for Darius Garland, and sent Ivica Zubac to Indiana for Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson and draft picks. Indiana’s pick became Keaton Wagler, taken fifth in June. On 2 September the NBA ruled that the club had broken salary-cap rules over Kawhi Leonard’s 2022 deal with Aspiration. It fined the Clippers, took five first-round picks and suspended Steve Ballmer for a year. Leonard was traded to Toronto for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and draft picks, a deal made official on 14 September. Rui Hachimura signed, Max Strus came from Cleveland in August, and Mathurin joined New Orleans.

LA Clippers history
The franchise began in Buffalo in 1970-71, as the Braves, in the same expansion that added Cleveland and Portland. Bob McAdoo was named MVP in 1974-75. The club moved to San Diego in 1978 and became the Clippers. In 1984 owner Donald Sterling took the team to Los Angeles without league approval.
Los Angeles played at the Memorial Sports Arena, then moved into Staples Center in 1999. Blake Griffin, the first pick in 2009, was Rookie of the Year in 2011. Steve Ballmer bought the club in August 2014, after the NBA banned Sterling for life. The Clippers made the playoffs in six straight seasons from 2012 to 2017.
Kawhi Leonard signed in July 2019, and Paul George arrived in a trade the same month. In 2021 the Clippers reached the conference finals for the first time and lost to Phoenix in six games. The club moved into the Intuit Dome in Inglewood for the 2024-25 season. Leonard left for Toronto in September 2026.
Most famous player: Blake Griffin
Blake Griffin was the first pick in 2009 and missed his first season with a knee injury. He was Rookie of the Year in 2010-11 and an All-Star in each of his first five seasons. He sits second on the club’s scoring list with 10,863 points.
Randy Smith is first, with 12,735, most of them scored for the Buffalo Braves after he joined in 1971. No Clipper has had a number retired. They are the only NBA club without one.
