The Los Angeles Clippers are operating as though they will have cap space to make additions in free agency, according to NBA insider Zach Lowe. ## What's happening with the Clippers' cap space?

The Clippers can open about $20 million but they have to cut some options and renounce some guys, Lowe reported.

Why it matters for the Clippers

This potential cap space could be used to sign key players like LeBron James, who is currently set to hit unrestricted free agency. James is a highly sought-after player, and the possibility of pairing him with Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is intriguing.

What comes next for the Clippers?

The Clippers could still create more cap flexibility as they look to build around Leonard and Darius Garland, while attempting to improve upon a 42-40 finish last season. Their recent form has been 1W-0D-1L, with their last result being a 116-110 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on 2025-02-21. | Date | Result | | --- | --- | | 2025-02-21 | Milwaukee Bucks 116-110 Los Angeles Clippers | The Clippers will need to make some key decisions in the offseason to improve their chances of making a deep playoff run in the NBA.
