The Los Angeles Clippers are hopeful to compete for an NBA Championship after an offseason that many would consider a home run. The franchise lost Norman Powell, but was able to add Bradley Beal, John Collins, Brook Lopez, and Chris Paul to the team.

With the NBA's schedule release on Thursday afternoon, the Clippers will have some big return games on the docket.

Clippers' Bradley Beal, Norman Powell, Brook Lopez return game dates announced

Bradley Beal played two seasons with the Phoenix Suns, but struggled to develop any kind of chemistry or consistency with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and his teammates in the Valley. The teams were never well-constructed, which led to a number of disappointing games for everyone involved.

But Suns fans won't have to wait long to boo their former player.

Bradley Beal and the LA Clippers will head to Phoenix to take on the Suns on Thursday, November 6, 2025. It will be one of four matchups for the division rivals.

Norman Powell had a career year with the Clippers in the 2024-25 season, nearly earning an All-Star selection. This past offseason, however, the Clippers targeted size as a need for the roster. Powell was traded to the Miami Heat in a three-team deal that also sent John Collins to the Clippers.

The Clippers and Heat won't have to wait long to get that game out of the way either.

Norman Powell and the Miami Heat will come to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers on Monday, November 3, 2025. It will be one of two matchups for the teams on opposite ends of the coast.

Brook Lopez was a splashy move for the LA Clippers to start free agency. The floor-spacing center elected to leave the Milwaukee Bucks in free agency after seven seasons and an NBA Championship.

The Bucks, however, will have quite a while to prepare their tribute video for the guy nicknamed, “Splash Mountain,” due to his three-point shooting prowess.

Brook Lopez will make his return to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks as a member of the LA Clippers on Sunday, March 29, 2026. That will be about two weeks before the NBA's regular season is expected to end.

Chris Paul was the final player to sign a standard contract with the Clippers this summer, capping off what was an incredible summer for the franchise.

Paul only played one season with the San Antonio Spurs, but if you ask guys like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, and Stephon Castle, one season can be incredibly impactful on one's career.

For the second time as a Los Angeles Clippers guard, Chris Paul will return to San Antonio for the first time to take on the Spurs on March 6, 2026.
