The 2024–25 Los Angeles Clippers season will be the 55th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 47th season in Southern California, and their 1st season in Inglewood. The Clippers will move to the new Intuit Dome before the start of the season.[1] On June 12, 2024, the NBA announced that the former great Lakers player and Clippers executive consultant Jerry West had passed away peacefully.[2][3] Six days later, on June 18, Jeff Van Gundy would join the Clippers' coaching staff as an assistant coach, returning to a coaching staff for the first time since 2007. This will be the first season since 2018–19 without Paul George, as on June 30th, the Clippers announced that he will not return to the franchise.
