2019–20 Los Angeles Clippers season


The 2019–20 Los Angeles Clippers season is the 50th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association, their 42nd season in Southern California, and their 36th season in Los Angeles.
On July 5, 2019, 2-time NBA champion, Finals MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard agreed to join the Clippers, on the condition that the team trade for 6-time NBA All-Star Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Also during the offseason, they re-signed two-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection Patrick Beverley and three-time Sixth Man of the Year award winner Lou Williams.
The Clippers hope to improve on their 48–34 record last year after making the 8th seed in the Western Conference standings.
Despite a nagging shoulder injury and "load management" policy that caused stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, respectively, to sit out multiple games, the Clippers were consistently at the top of the Western Conference standings.
On January 23, 2020, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard was named a starter for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game by fans, current players, and media, and was later named the game's MVP.
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11 after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. As of March 11, the Clippers held the second-best record in the Western Conference, and the fourth-best in the NBA, at 44-20.
