About the Agua Caliente Clippers

Where I-10 and I-15 meet in Ontario, California, the Toyota Arena is home to the highest-level basketball in the Inland Empire — the Agua Caliente (AC) Clippers. The G-League affiliate of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers, the AC Clippers are the development team for the pro team, and on any given night, they showcase a range of talented players. Forward Johnathan Motley, who won the Karl Malone Award while at Baylor as the nation’s top power forward, emerged as a team leader, while guards Terance Mann, Tyrone Wallace and Amir Coffey all played well enough to earn extended stints with the L.A. Clippers. The team’s penchant for featuring players with NBA pedigree starts with the team’s GM, former NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion Dee Brown. In their first two seasons, the AC Clippers became a winning team, challenging for the Pacific Division in the G-League’s Western Conference. The 225,000-square-foot and nearly 11,000-capacity Toyota Arena boasts 36 total luxury suites on two levels, and floor-level season tickets start at under $900 per seat. Single-game tickets are always available, and group tickets can come with an elevated fan experience — like a pregame shootaround or postgame free throws on the court.

Agua Caliente Clippers Background

Since the 2017-18 season, the Agua Caliente Clippers have been the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers sole affiliate in the NBA’s developmental G-League. After the team’s previous arrangement with the Bakersfield Jam ended in 2014, L.A. Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers sought to build a new Southern California–based affiliate to help breed NBA talent, and the Agua Caliente Clippers were born. Their name comes from the Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indians, native to the surrounding area in Southern California, and the tribe’s Palm Springs area casinos are the team’s title sponsor. The team’s colors are red, blue, and silver and the mascot is the popular Kid Condor. The Toyota Arena is a multiuse facility in Ontario that also hosts hockey, arena soccer, concerts, and more.
