Los Angeles Clippers

Inglewood basketball team

The Los Angeles Clippers are a professional basketball team in the NBA, based in Los Angeles, California.

Founded in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves, the franchise relocated to San Diego in 1978 and became the Clippers before moving to Los Angeles in 1984.

Long overshadowed by the Lakers, their co-tenants at Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena), the Clippers have historically been considered the less glamorous of LA's two NBA teams.

The Clippers finally made it past the second round.
