The NBA is still shut down, which means that fans are craving basketball in any form. The NBA 2K tournament and Horse competition are long over, with a lengthier 2K tournament still on the way. However, the Clippers and Fox Sports Prime Ticket have taken matters into their own hands, and will show 13 classic Clippers games from across every major era of the team over the month of May.
There will be games each Wednesday and Thursday, as well as on three Saturdays, a Monday, and a Sunday. Outside of the Sunday game, these contests will all be aired at 7:00 PM Pacific Time, unfortunately making them a bit too late for most people on the East Coast. While the games are being shown, the Clippers will be running special, new social media content on their social media platforms, throwing a new twist on the classic games.
