The L.A. Clippers will televise their Orlando scrimmages, the team announced Monday. All three scrimmages will be broadcast on Fox Sports Prime Ticket, as well as be available on Fox Sports San Diego and Fox Sports GO. The games are also listed on NBA League Pass.

The team will play three scrimmages in Orlando: Wednesday, July 22nd at noon PT against the Orlando Magic, Saturday, July 25th at 5pm PT against the Washington Wizards, and Monday, July 27th at 1pm PT against the Sacramento Kings. These will serve as basic “pre-season” games before the team begins regular-season “seeding” games on July 30th, when they headline opening night against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Clippers will televise their Orlando Scrimmages, but not with full telecasts, as the first two contests against Orlando and Washington will feature Clippers radio announcer Noah Eagle calling the games remotely from Los Angeles. The third and final game will feature a more normal telecast with Brian Sieman, Chauncey Billups, and Kristina Pink, though the crew will also be working remotely.

After Clippers center Montrezl Harrell had to depart the Orlando bubble over the weekend to attend to a family emergency, the team figures to be incredibly short-handed heading into these scrimmages. Already, the team will likely be without second-year guard Landry Shamet and starting power forward and center duo Marcus Morris and Ivica Zubac, as the Clippers have yet to announce that any of the three have been able to join the team in Orlando.

Still, even without some important names, it will be nice to watch the Clippers get on the court and play basketball again–and even with shortened 10-minute quarters, these games should provide good opportunity to see the two rookies that the team has in Orlando, Terance Mann and Amir Coffey, try to prove themselves capable of providing depth for Doc Rivers’ squad.
