The Los Angeles Clippers don’t necessarily have to hit the reset button after a mediocre 2025-26 season but will need to make the right decisions to replenish their roster for the future.
The Clippers will enter the NBA draft with the fifth overall pick on Tuesday, June 23.

The Clippers likely will consider a guard with their first-round pick.
