The Ontario Clippers,[3] formerly known as the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario, are an American professional basketball team based in Ontario, California. The club competes in the NBA G League, and began play in the 2017–18 season. The franchise is owned by and affiliated with the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s Los Angeles Clippers.

History

From 2009 to 2014, the Clippers had been affiliated with the former Bakersfield Jam before the Jam switched to a single affiliation with the Phoenix Suns. In December 2015, Doc Rivers, head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, mentioned the need for the Clippers to own an NBA Development League team.[4]

In April 2017, the Clippers were reported to be looking to add a minor league affiliate in the NBA Development League either in nearby Ontario or Bakersfield for the 2017–18 season.[5][6] In May 2017, the Clippers reportedly had settled on the Ontario location and possibly be calling the team the Agua Caliente Clippers.[7][8] On May 15, the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario were announced.[9] The team was named after the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, a federally recognized tribe with resorts and casinos in Palm Springs and are the presenting sponsor of the Clippers.

On July 5, 2022, they officially changed their name to the Ontario Clippers.[3]
