Outlook The Clippers go out in the first round with another year of Kawhi missing playoff games. They go into the offseason unsure of which key players outside of Kawhi will still be on the team next year. Harden is an unrestricted free agent, Paul George and Westbrook have player options, and they don’t control a first rounder until 2030.

They will likely try to run it back since they extended Kawhi already and are moving to the new $2 billion Intuit Dome and will need to sell tickets. They will have some optimism since there were stretches where the team looked like contenders but despite Kawhi playing the most regular season games since the 2016-2017 season he wasn’t healthy when it mattered most again leading to a back to back first round exits for the Clippers.
