The Clippers will host the Warriors on Monday, September 30th, and Saturday, January 6th while the Warriors will host the Clippers  Wednesday, Januray 10th, and Thursday, February 22nd.

Chris Paul’s Return to LA:

  • The former Clippers point guard will make his homecoming on two separate occasions this season, once on Monday, January 15th and another on Wednesday, February 28th. Both will be televised nationally with the first game (January 15th) on TNT and the second (February 28th) airing on ESPN.

Beverley, Dekker, Harrell, and William’s Return to Houston:

  • The four former Rockets, traded to the Clippers in exchange for Chris Paul, will return to Houston on two occasions in the upcoming season. The first will come on Friday, December 22nd and the second on Thursday, March 15th. Both games will be televised nationally with the first (December 22nd) airing on ESPN and the second (March 15th) on NBA TV

Danilo Gallinari Homecoming in Denver:
