About the San Diego Clippers

The San Diego Clippers are the NBA G League affiliate of the LA Clippers and play their home games at the 7,500-seat Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California. The team relocated to Oceanside ahead of the 2024-25 season, marking the return of the Clippers name to the San Diego area, where the NBA franchise played from 1978-1984.

Established in May 2017 as the Agua Caliente Clippers, the franchise began play during the 2017-18 season at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. The team spent seven seasons in Ontario and adopted the Ontario Clippers name in July 2022.

During the 2021-22 season, the Clippers finished with a 22-11 record and advanced to the Western Conference Finals in their first postseason appearance. Five players received NBA call-ups that season, setting a franchise record at the time. On Dec. 22, 2022, Ontario captured the NBA G League Showcase Cup Championship with a 99-97 victory over the Windy City Bulls.

The affiliate serves as a key part of the LA Clippers’ player-development system, providing opportunities for NBA assignees, two-way players and emerging talent to develop and compete.
