The Clippers G League will relocate to San Diego and change their name.
The G League team of the Los Angeles Clippers organization will relocate to Oceanside, California, and rebrand under the San Diego Clippers moniker beginning in the 2024–25 season. This move is in line with their NBA counterpart’s move to the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, since it represents a return to the team’s historical roots.
With the construction of Frontwave Arena, the San Diego Clippers will play their home games, ushering in a new era for the franchise and its relationship with the local sports community.
For the Clippers organization, it’s kind of a homecoming because the NBA team spent its 1978–84 season in San Diego. The Ontario Clippers, their current G League team, will play their final games in Ontario, California. The NBAGL team was formerly known as the
In order to maintain consistency in strategy throughout the Clippers organization, Lawrence Frank, president of basketball operations, will continue to oversee basketball operations for both NBA and G League teams.

This calculated action not only bolsters the team’s position in the California sports scene but also demonstrates their dedication to developing talent via their G League affiliate.
Paul George names the toughest NBA player to score on
Paul George has been guarded by guys like LeBron James in his heyday, Tony Allen, and even his Clippers colleague Kawhi Leonard since he entered the league in 2010, but none of them have bothered him as much as Jrue Holiday.
During the most recent episode of “Podcast P,” George discussed the Celtics guard’s capacity to contain the game’s top scorers, including himself.
Along with LeBron James’ block in the 2016 Finals, many regard Holiday’s steal in the 2021 NBA Finals as one of the best defensive plays in the past ten years.
In June, Holiday might contribute to the Celtics hoisting banner No. 18, which would enhance his image as a big-moment player. If Boston prevails and the oddsmakers are proven correct, Holiday won’t have much time to celebrate. He is anticipated to travel to Paris in late July to join Team USA for the 2024 Olympics.
As for George, he wouldn’t have to worry about guarding Holiday for the foreseeable future, that is, unless his Clippers play the Celtics in the NBA Finals in June. George’s squad and the Celtics and Clippers shared a 1-1 regular season series.
