Rivers took to Instagram and exposed the fan, saying […]

When DeAndre Jordan got drafted back in 2008, a lot of people did not think he’d even make the L.A. Clippers‘ final roster. He wasn’t a highly-touted prospect, being selected with the 35th pick in the second round due to his raw talent but also a thin frame that did not appeal to many teams at […]

Prior to Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside clarifying his comments about L.A. Clippers big man DeAndre Jordan — his point guard, Chris Paul, didn’t need to defend his lob-catching teammate, but instead let the scoreboard speak for him. Jordan had a clutch possession down the stretch, as he ensnared an offensive rebound and put it back […]

L.A. Clippers‘ guard Chris Paul had a bigger load to carry on Saturday night as his struggling Clippers were without star forward Blake Griffin and backup point guard Raymond Felton against the New Orleans Pelicans. L.A. needed a big game from Paul, and boy did they get one. Paul turned in possibly the greatest performance […]

The Clippers were already without star forward Blake Griffin (sore knee) and guard Raymond Felton (personal), so this latest injury bug isn’t coming at a good time.

For the past two days, the L.A. Clippers have been practicing in their Playa Vista facility while also watching film from their 17-point loss to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.

Speaking on Wednesday night after the Clippers suffered a […]

Last night, the L.A. Clippers came into the biggest matchup of the season against the Golden State Warriors ready and focused. They may have been a little too focused, however, as they were whalloped by the team with the best record in the league, 115-98. Aside from an uncharacteristic first quarter that saw a turnover-fest […]

During last summer’s free agency, Kevin Durant was the most-coveted player among all free agents and generated interest from a lot of teams.

The former MVP and four-time scoring […]

After both teams’ hot starts to the NBA regular season, the matchup between the L.A. Clippers and the Golden State Warriors will play their first game of the season tonight at Staples Center.

One of the best defensive specialists in the NBA right now is Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.

With three of their starters expected test free agency next summer, the L.A. Clippers are pulling out all the stops to finally get over their playoff hump and win a championship this season. That being said, one thing certainly will need to improve to reach that goal – and team is currently exploring options to improve […]
