On Monday, the Los Angeles Clippers organization announced it would be moving its G League team from Ontario to San Diego for the upcoming season.

San Diego was home to the NBA Clippers from 1978 to 1984 before then-owner Donald Sterling made the controversial decision to move the team north.

The San Diego Clippers will be playing the 2024-25 G League season in the brand new Frontwave Arena in Oceanside.

Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports and Entertainment, which includes the Los Angeles Clippers, the San Diego Clippers, the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum, was one of the speakers during Monday's press event in Oceanside and helped unveil the team's new logo.

“We are proud to re-introduce the San Diego Clippers into this passionate sports market,” Zucker said. “Our G League team is a critical part of our business and basketball operation, and we are thrilled to be relocating to the new Frontwave Arena next season.”

Frontwave Arena is a 7,500-capacity venue that is currently under construction in Oceanside. In addition the G League games, the arena will also host concerts, comedy shows, community events and indoor soccer games played by the San Diego Sockers of the Major Arena Soccer League. The arena is expected to open this summer.

Josh Elias, co-founder and CEO of Frontwave Arena, said he was excited to partner with Zucker and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer to show off the capabilities of the new venue and welcome the Clippers back to San Diego.

The Ontario Clippers will complete the remainder of the 2023-24 G League season in San Bernardino County before making the move south. The team is 13-13 on the season and currently sit at 11th in the G League's Western Conference.

The NBA G League is a developmental league that operates under the umbrella of its major league affiliates. The NBA allows teams to have three players under contract that can play in both NBA and G League games. Teams can also assign players on full NBA contracts down to the G League for extra practice time or to rehab injuries.

Twelve of the 18 players on the Los Angeles Clippers roster have played in the G League during their careers.

San Diego Clippers merchandise is available for a limited time online.

The Clippers announced their new-look uniforms and logo on Monday, and according to an official release from the NBA, the changes include a “modernized version of the classic Clippers script” on the jerseys.  

The new primary logo featuring the Clippers “C” that surrounds a compass and an oncoming ship with basketball seams on the hull, which is a nod to “the organization’s maritime roots and a symbol of its direction.” 

“We have been on a long journey gathering feedback and insights from across Clipper Nation,” said Jillian Zucker, President of Business Operations for the L.A. Clippers and their new arena, Intuit Dome.

“We listened to as many voices as we could and then engaged specialists to arrive at a timeless design that blends bedrocks of our past and future,” Zucker added. 

The logo will be featured at center court along with coordinates referring to the exact location of the venue on the baseline. 

A limited-edition merchandise collection featuring the new logos, wordmarks and colors will only be available online at www.ClippersHQ.com on Monday. 

In addition, Clippers fans can head to The Grove between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday to snag the new styles before the start of the 2024-2025 season.
