The 2017-18 Los Angeles Clippers experienced significant changes, most notably trading star player Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets before the season. This marked the end of the “Lob City” era. The team acquired players like Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, and Montrezl Harrell in return, aiming to remain competitive in the Western Conference.
Despite the roster overhaul, the Clippers managed a 42-40 record, finishing 10th in the Western Conference and missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Injuries played a major role, with key players like Beverley and Danilo Gallinari missing substantial time. Lou Williams emerged as a standout performer, averaging 22.6 points per game and winning the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award.
The season was a transitional phase for the Clippers as they shifted focus towards building a new core. Doc Rivers continued as head coach, guiding the team through a period of adjustment and laying the groundwork for future success.
- Regular Season Record: 42-40
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
