Clippers to host two preseason games against Raptors in Hawaii


LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers will host two preseason games against the Toronto Raptors in Honolulu this fall.

The games on Oct. 1 and 3 will be played at the Stan Sheriff Center on the University of Hawaii campus. That’s where the Clippers will hold their training camp.

The Clippers will participate in a pregame fan fest at the Hawaii Convention Center as part of the Clippers Hawaii Classic event.

It will be the first time the Clippers have played a game in Hawaii.

Wasn't there some other team that used to do that all the time? Can't remember their name. Lake something or other.

A "Lights Out" theme at Staples for their games
An in-house band for home games
Statues for Clipper legends Loy Vaught and Elton Brand.

Already happened.
They don't have an in-house band but they've had a DJ for years.
