The Los Angeles Clippers have the oldest roster in NBA history ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season.
The Los Angeles Clippers made key additions in the offseason, which included bringing in veterans like Bradley Beal and Chris Paul.
The Clippers were one of the hottest teams last season heading into the playoffs but they were eliminated in the first-round by the Denver Nuggets.
They are hoping that this season they can stay healthy and finally make a deep run.

In order for the Clippers to win a championship they need a healthy Kawhi Leonard.
Leonard continues to be involved in off-the-court drama. The NBA is currently investigating allegations that the Clippers circumvented the league’s salary cap for Leonard.
However, as the investigation continues, Leonard has been preparing on the court for the new season.
Beal has been impressed with what he has seen from Leonard and he said Kawhi has stood out the most during training camp.
“I’ve never been around Kawhi. So being around Kawhi every day — he’s a freak of nature…one of the best to ever touch a ball.”
Bradley Beal said Kawhi Leonard is the Clippers player standing out the most in training camp.
He also mentioned James Harden and Brook Lopez.

Bradley Beal is also impressed with James Harden and Brook Lopez
The Clippers also added Brook Lopez this summer as he will be an important backup center for Ivica Zubac.
Beal has liked what he has seen from the former NBA Champion and James Harden who has unmatched work ethic.
“Same with JH. Just their work ethic when it comes to this game is unmatched. And I’d say Brook Lopez. He’s definitely been the biggest — I’d say the loudest difference maker in the gym on both ends of the floor.”
Harden was reportedly a key figure in recruiting Beal to Los Angeles. Beal and Harden are set to start in the Clippers backcourt.
Despite their age, the Clippers do have nice depth at every position. The veteran experience could end up going a long way for this team.
