P.J. Tucker has fallen out of the Los Angeles Clippers' rotation and could be a candidate for trade and then buyout. 

The Washington Wizards could trade for Tucker with the intent of buying him out. 

If Tucker is bought out, the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks are two teams who could pursue him. Tucker is eligible to go to any team after a buyout because his salary is below the non-taxpayer mid level exception. 

Tucker signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Sixers during the 2022 offseason. 

During the LA Clippers-Oklahoma City Thunder broadcast, TNT's Chris Haynes dropped some intel on James Harden's mindset for his next deal. Haynes said that Harden hopes to re-sign with the Clippers on a long-term deal.

LA acquired Harden earlier this season from the Philadelphia 76ers. After an initial bumpy start, the Clippers have been one of the NBA's best teams.

Harden is scheduled for unrestricted free agency in July. He's not eligible to sign an extension, so re-signing with LA will have to wait until this summer. Kawhi Leonard recently said that part of his plan in taking less in his extension with the Clippers was to give the team a better opportunity to keep Harden and Paul George. It's been reported that George is in extension discussions with the Clippers.

Ivica Zubac will be out at least four weeks with a right calf strain.

Zubac has played well for the Los Angeles Clippers this season since the trade for James Harden.

The Clippers will elevate Mason Plumlee and Daniel Theis to larger roles in the absence of Zubac.

The NBA has awarded the 2026 All-Star Game to the Los Angeles Clippers. The game will be played at Intuit Dome in Inglewood on Feb. 15, 2026.

The Clippers will open Intuit Dome next season.

“The Intuit Dome promises to present a unique and innovative live basketball experience which will be an extraordinary venue for the NBA All-Star Game in 2026,” said Adam Silver. “Thanks again to Steve Ballmer, Gillian Zucker, and the Clippers organization for their commitment to delivering a world-class showcase of the very best of our sport.”

This will mark the record seventh NBA All-Star in the Los Angeles area, which hosted the event in 2018, 2011, 2004, 1983, 1972 and 1963.

The Los Angeles Clippers will host the 2026 All-Star Game at the Intuit Dome, sources told Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.

The NBA will make an official announcement on Tuesday.

The Kia Forum will also play a role during All-Star Weekend.

The Clippers will move into the Intuit Dome for the 2024-25 season. 

Host Danny Leroux and Ben Golliver of the Washington Post catch up on the NBA season so far.

While the Los Angeles Clippers made a major trade early in the season for James Harden, they are continuing to scour the market for another move.

Sources tell Zach Lowe that they are looking on "the trade market for one last player... likely a tweeter forward or backup center."

The Clippers can trade one first round pick and could create matching salary in the form of P.J. Tucker.

Kawhi Leonard reportedly took less than his maximum possible in his extension. That was done in hopes that it will pave the way for the LA Clippers to keep both Paul George and James Harden.

"With the conversation that I have with them about it, I think for the most part everybody is coming back," Leonard said after the Clippers beat the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. "So, with me signing an extension, I think it gives us a chance to sign both of those players."

George said that he and the Clippers are "working through it" on a possible extension. He ultimately said he thinks it will get done, with Leonard's extension setting the table.

"I mean, absolutely," George said when asked whether Leonard's extension is a steppingstone to him staying. "You secure and lock in Kawhi. Definitely leaves the door open for myself, but very, very optimistic something will get done on my behalf, as well."

Harden is not extension eligible after his trade to the Clippers from the Philadelphia 76ers. He's set to hit unrestricted free agency, but all signs point to Harden re-signing in LA.

Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers are in discussions on a contract extension.

The Clippers signed Kawhi Leonard to a three-year, $152.4 million extension on Wednesday.

The Clippers would also like to sign George to a long-term contract. Leonard's deal likely sets a floor for a new contract for George.

James Harden is not eligible to sign a new contract until the offseason.

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a three-year, $152.4 million contract extension that runs through the 26-27 season.

Leonard will remain with the Clippers as they open their new arena in Inglewood at the start of the 24-25 season. Leonard joined the Clippers in free agency in 2019.

Leonard will not hold a player option in his new deal, which is approximately $8.5 million under his max over three seasons.
