The Clippers have renamed their G League affiliate, formerly known as the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario, to the Ontario Clippers, the team announced today in a press release.
According to the club, Los Angeles’ G League affiliate will continue to play its home games at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California through at least the 2023/24 season.
As Andrew Greif of The Los Angeles Times notes (via Twitter), the L.A. Clippers’ new Inglewood arena is scheduled to open in 2024, and while the main venue would probably be too big for a G League team, there will be other courts in the facility.
Given that the franchise’s basketball and business departments will operate out of the new Intuit Dome and the Ontario Clippers are only locked into playing in Toyota Arena through ’23/24, Greif wonders if the G League squad could eventually be relocated to Inglewood.
Well it’s certainly an upgrade.
You’ll always be Chris Jackson to me
Really excited about this
So they got tired of pandering and decided to get real?
Thoughts and prayers
There should be a name for the region, east OF LA (not east LA). I nominate High Valley. A million folks at least.

Ontario isn’t obscure. Lol. It has almost 200k people and its own airport with decent traffic from west coast/midwest Disneyland visitors.
Woah Nelly!
Should be ………
