The Clippers kick off their 2026 season with a preseason game against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).
Game Information
Where: Frontwave Arena, San Diego, CA
When: 7:30 PM PT
How to Watch: Unclear, seems to be on League Pass
I have very, very little to say about any preseason game, especially on a Clippers team that knows who their rotation players are and have roles more or less mapped out.
Bradley Beal will miss this game as he recovers from a knee injury, but he’s practicing with the team and it seems like he will appear at some point in preseason. Everyone else is a go, even Kawhi Leonard, so the Clippers should be able to give just about everyone on their roster a couple minutes of action in this one.
Outside of coming out the other side healthy, the only thing I’d like to see in this game is some progress from the Clippers young guys: Jordan Miller, Kobe Brown, Cam Christie, Kobe Sanders, Yanic Konan Niederhauser, and Trentyn Flowers. Hopefully one or two of them look good, and if not them, then maybe an Exhibit 10 guy pops a bit.
That’s about all! I can’t wait for the games that really matter, which are about two weeks away!
