Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is questionable for the playoff opener against the Dallas Mavericks due to inflammation in his right knee. Leonard has been dealing with this issue for nearly three weeks, missing the final eight games of the regular season. Despite progress, his availability remains uncertain as he continues treatment. Leonard's health is a critical factor for the Clippers, who may have to rely on Paul George and James Harden without him. The team is hopeful for Leonard's recovery, but his history of knee issues adds to the uncertainty.
The Lakers–Clippers rivalry is a National Basketball Association (NBA) rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers. The two Pacific Division teams both play their home games in the Greater Los Angeles area, thus inspiring their matchups to sometimes be called the "Battle of L.A." The Lakers originally relocated from Minneapolis in 1960, while the Clippers moved from San Diego in 1984 after previously moving to San Diego from Buffalo, New York while going away from the original Buffalo Braves name in 1978. While Los Angeles fans have historically favored the Lakers, the Clippers have sold out or filled capacity for every home game at Staples Center since Feb. 2011 and entered the 2016–17 season with the sixth-longest active sellout streak in the NBA, which continued up until the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lakers have won 12 of their 17 NBA championships since moving to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the Clippers have made the playoffs only eleven times since 1984 and remain arguably the least successful professional sports franchise in North America, and had never advanced past the second round of the playoffs until 2021. Some contended that the term rivalry was inaccurate due to the Lakers historical success and the Clippers historical lack of success. In 2012–13, the Clippers won the first of six straight season series against the Lakers.The Lakers hold a 107–66 advantage in the all-time series since the Clippers moved to Los Angeles. The two teams have never met in the playoffs, though both Los Angeles teams were very close to meeting each other twice in the twenty-first century before they each blew their respective playoff series leads. The Lakers lost a 3–1 series lead against another Pacific Division rival of theirs in the Phoenix Suns and failed to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals against the Clippers in 2006, while the Clippers also lost a 3–1 lead against the Denver Nuggets in 2020, nixing a Western Conference Finals matchup with the eventual NBA champion Lakers that was held entirely at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex that year due to the 2020 NBA Bubble.From the creation of the then-named Staples Center in 1999 until 2024 with the Clippers ending their lease with the arena, their matchups were also sometimes called the "Hallway Series" due to their locker rooms being in a separate hallway around 80 to 100 feet apart from each other. For the first game of theirs in what was dubbed as the "Hallway Series" while under the Staples Center, the Lakers (holding homecourt advantage and being led by their dynamic duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant) crushed the Clippers 95–68, with that game also being notable for the Clippers scoring a franchise-low 19 total points in the first half, including a lowly total of 3 points in the entire second quarter by a made basket from Michael Olowokandi and a free-throw made by Lamar Odom. For their final regular season game against each other in the "Hallway Series" at the Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers provided a 21-point comeback in the fourth quarter (including LeBron James scoring 19 points in that quarter alone) to win 116–112 on February 28, 2024 against the Clippers, who were the home team that night. Barring any potential playoff series match-ups in the 2024 NBA playoffs between these two teams (which would be their first ever in that rivalry), the next time they'll play against each other in the regular season will either be in the Crypto.com Arena without the Clippers being nearby the Lakers or will be held in the Clippers' new home arena at the Intuit Dome in nearby Inglewood, California for the 2024–25 season.
The Los Angeles Clippers are a professional basketball team based in Los Angeles, California. They play in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and are a member of the NBA Western Conference's Pacific Division. The Clippers were founded in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves. They were one of three franchises that joined the NBA as an expansion team in the 1970–71 season. The Braves moved to San Diego, California after the 1977–78 season, and became known as the San Diego Clippers. For the 1984–85 NBA season, the Clippers moved north to Los Angeles and became known as the Los Angeles Clippers.On October 14, 1970, the Braves beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 107–92 in their first game. In the 1972 NBA draft, the Braves selected Bob McAdoo, who later won such awards as Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player. During McAdoo's years (1972–76) with the franchise, the Braves reached the post-season three times and had a record of nine wins and 13 losses during that time.Overall, the Clippers have qualified for the post-season sixteen times; most recently in the 2020–21 season. They passed the first round of the playoffs seven times (1975–76, 2005–06, 2011–12, 2013–14, 2014–15, 2019–20 and 2020–21). The Clippers have never won league or Conference titles. Their 51-year drought between entering Western Conference finals (before doing so in 2020–21) is one of the longest in league history and the 30-year drought between winning a playoffs round (before doing so in 2005–06) is the longest in league history. They also have only sixteen seasons with a winning percentage of .500 or better, and as a result, in their April 17, 2000 issue, the Sports Illustrated had three Clippers fans on the cover that stated "The worst franchise in sports history". A decade later, the additions of Blake Griffin and Chris Paul helped them win their first division title during the 2012–13 season, their 43rd year in the league, and they repeated the feat the following year. Paul and Griffin departed in 2017, and after a short transition period, the Clippers signed All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in 2019.

The 2013–14 Los Angeles Clippers season was the 44th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 36th season in Southern California, and their 30th season in Los Angeles.

The 2023–24 Los Angeles Clippers season is the 54th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 46th season in Southern California and their 40th season in Los Angeles. This is also the Clippers' final season at the Crypto.com Arena, as the team will move to the new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, once this season concludes.Into the start of the 2023–24 season, the Clippers acquired 10-time NBA All-Star and 2018 League MVP James Harden in a blockbuster trade on November 1, 2023. The acquisition reunited him with former Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets teammate Russell Westbrook in addition to Harden being added along to perennial All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to form a new superteam in the West. The trade also set a new aggregate All-Star milestone spanning 32 All-Star appearances totaled between that of George, Harden, Leonard and Westbrook. In the ensuing aftermath of the transaction, the Clippers were heavily criticized for refusing to deal Terance Mann as part of the agreement in a do-or-die season where they were at risk of losing all their All-Stars to free agency prior to the move to the new arena next season. What was initially expected to commence of as a highly promising start into the 2023-24 season in October that saw Clippers attain a 3–1 record, the team suffered a regrettable succession of six consecutive losses. As the series of unfortunate streak of defeats between November 1st to November 14th unfolded following a favorable beginning to the season in October, the Clippers finally managed to break their misfortunate string of ill-fated losses by securing a triumphant win over the Houston Rockets on November 17, 2023.From December onwards, the Clippers became one of the more dominant teams in the league, starting with a 9-game winning streak that featured multiple uncompetitive blowouts. They eventually rose to become the top seed in the Western Conference.

The draft consisted of 58 picks instead of the typical 60 due to the loss of a second-round pick for both the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers for violating the NBA's tampering rules during free agency. This was the second straight season in which the NBA draft had only 58 picks instead of the typical 60 due to tampering violations. The first overall selection was made by the San Antonio Spurs, who selected the 7'4" French center Victor Wembanyama.
The Los Angeles Clippers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Clippers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. The Clippers play their home games at Crypto.com Arena, which they share with NBA team Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), and the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Clippers plan to move into their own arena, the Intuit Dome in nearby Inglewood, by 2024.The franchise was founded as the Buffalo Braves in 1970 as an expansion team. Led by Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo, the Braves reached the NBA playoffs three times during their eight seasons in Buffalo. Conflicts with the Canisius Golden Griffins over the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium and the sale of the franchise led to their relocation from Buffalo to San Diego, California in 1978 and subsequent rebranding as the San Diego Clippers, in reference to the sailing ships synonymous with San Diego Bay. The team saw little success on the court and missed the playoffs during all six of their years in San Diego.In 1984, owner Donald Sterling controversially relocated the franchise to Los Angeles without NBA approval. The NBA spent more than three years on a lawsuit to force the team back to San Diego before eventually dropping the suit in exchange for Sterling paying a fine. Over the course of their first 27 seasons in Los Angeles, the Clippers qualified for the postseason only four times and won a single playoff round. They were frequently considered a perennial loser in American professional sports, drawing unfavorable comparisons to the historically successful Lakers.The Clippers' reputation improved during the 2010s, which saw them transform into consistent postseason contenders. Aided by the "Lob City" lineup of Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Chris Paul, the team qualified for the playoffs in six consecutive seasons from 2012 to 2017 and won two consecutive division titles in 2013 and 2014, both firsts for the franchise. Despite this success, the Clippers struggled in the postseason and were frequently eliminated in the conference semifinals; the team reached the conference finals for the first time in 2021. To date, they are the oldest franchise in North American professional sports to have never played in a championship game.
