Clippers
The 2025–26 season has come down to a tense, defining stretch for the Los Angeles Clippers, who find themselves locked into the Western Conference play-in tournament picture. It’s not where the franchise envisioned being when the year began, but it’s exactly where they must prove their resilience.
The team overcame a 6-21 start to the season, and climbed all the way back to the play-in position. On some nights, they’ve looked like true contenders—moving the ball crisply, defending with purpose, and leaning on their veteran leadership to close out games. On others, they’ve struggled to maintain rhythm, dropping winnable matchups that now loom large in the standings.
Still, the play-in tournament offers a lifeline. Rather than fading quietly into the offseason, the Clippers have a clear, immediate goal: survive and advance. With the young talent and superstar in Kawhi Leonard, the team has a good chance to win in the play-in game and advance in the playoffs. What the Clippers team has shown throughout this season is the resilience and mental toughness the team is every single game they’ve played this season.
