INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers' days as the biggest losers in professional sports are long gone, and this NBA All-Star weekend was supposed to be a time to celebrate it. The team that spent its first four decades of existence as a punch line and a purgatory has now had 14 consecutive winning seasons with a succession of basketball greats wearing its uniform.

The Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly considering a rebuild following the James Harden trade, shifting focus to youth and financial flexibility. This potential pivot places Kawhi Leonard's future at the forefront,

The Los Angeles Clippers received multiple trade inquiries for Kawhi Leonard at the NBA trade deadline, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line. The Clippers traded James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Ivica Zubac to the Indiana Pacers but decided to keep Leonard.

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame revealed the group of Finalists for its Class of 2026. Two of the 11 North American committee finalists were former Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin and former head coach Doc Rivers.
