    Clippers Progress

    Clippers celebrate
    Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

    The Los Angeles Clippers are moving closer to their future $1.8 billion arena. Inglewood City Council approved the sale of 13 parcels of land for $66.25 million to the Clippers-controlled Murphy’s Bowl LLC.

    The 28 acres will be the site of the planned 18,000 seat arena, which will be privately financed — primarily by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. Last month, the Clippers partnered with CAA to sell the naming rights to the arena, which they hope will net a record-breaking deal.

    Construction is slated to begin by the middle of next year and the arena should be ready for the 2024-25 NBA season. Inglewood is also home to SoFi Stadium, which opens as the new home to the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams this NFL season.

    This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
