The quest for a first championship in franchise history will start on Wednesday as the LA Clippers will play in scrimmages that will lead up to the eight seeding games that will start next week.

After the pandemic shut down the season for a couple of months a lot has happened. There have been players testing positive for COVID-19 and America has rallied together to again deal with racial issues. It has been hard to avoid what has been going on.

The Clippers, a title contender, had meetings to decide if they even wanted to play in the Orlando games. They say if you want to obtain something you have to work for it and if the Clippers win a championship they will have earned it.

While there was a big deal about the potential of playing in Orlando the Clippers’ first scrimmage will be on Wednesday and it will start off the franchise’s best chance to win a title in their entire history.
