Clippers 2026 Summer League, Game 1 Thread

The Clippers kick off their first Summer League game of 2026 tonight against the Sacramento Kings at 8 PM ET on ESPN.

This should be a fun one, as we can watch the Clippers’ prized rookie, Keaton Wagler, square off against the Kings’ dynamic rookie, Darius Acuff, who the Clippers were thinking about taking with the 5th pick. There are other interesting players in this one, of course, but those are the two headliners.

I must also say that I did, of course, see the news today about the Clippers’ trade of Kawhi Leonard being paused due to the ongoing Aspiration investigation. I don’t have much to say, outside of the fact that the NBA has royally bungled this whole situation from start to finish. I would still expect the trade to go through in a relatively similar form in the coming weeks – hopefully the investigation wraps soon-ish so all parties involved can move on.
