Summary
LA Clippers face a grueling start as the 2026-27 NBA schedule drops, with tough matchups against the Lakers, Timberwolves, Warriors, and Suns. Can Brandon Ingram and Darius Garland carry the load against stars like Luka Dončić, Anthony Edwards, and Devin Booker? Die hard LA Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri highlights must-win games, questions whether the Clippers will have the best player on the floor, and explores how key roster moves—like the possible loss of Kawhi Leonard—could impact the first ten games. Back-to-backs drop to just 13, making this season less taxing for the Clippers’ younger, refreshed roster. Notable returns include Ivica Zubac, John Collins, and James Harden. With only 8 nationally televised games, expect the Clippers to fly under the radar early, but will a packed post-All-Star home schedule spark a surprise run? Plus, the Intuit Dome hosts its first matinee matchups and fans get more local broadcasts as start times shift to 7:30.
