In the 2025 offseason, the Los Angeles Clippers signed Brook Lopez to a two-year, $18 million deal in free agency. The 37-year-old was supposed to be the best backup Ivica Zubac had in recent years.

This NBA season hasn’t gone anything like what the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks expected. The Clippers made the bold move to pair aging shooting guard Bradley Beal with current leaders Kawhi Leonard and James Harden in the offseason.

The Dallas Mavericks left the door open for Anthony Davis' return against the Clippers on Friday night before deciding.

Amid a disappointing 3-8 start, there is reportedly a belief among some in the NBA that the Los Angeles Clippers are in trouble.

BOTTOM LINE: Los Angeles looks to end its five-game skid when the Clippers take on Denver. Los Angeles finished 50-32 overall and 29-23 in Western Conference action a season ago. The Clippers allowed opponents to score 108.2 points per game and shoot 46.1% from the field last season.

Allegations surrounding Kawhi Leonard’s reported no-show endorsement deal with Aspiration have triggered lawsuits, investigations, and outside commentary, adding to an already rocky start for the Los Angeles Clippers.
