OCEANSIDE, CA — The Los Angeles Clippers kicked off their 2025 preseason with a game against the visiting Guangzhou Loong-Lions. And while Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and co. began what they hope will be a season culminating in an NBA Championship, Victor Oladipo played in what he hopes will be the start of his return to the NBA court.
A two-time NBA All-Star, Oladipo joined the Loong-Lions on a short-term contract through the NBA's preseason. The Chinese team is in the midst of a three-game stretch in the United States that started with the San Antonio Spurs on October 6th, moved to Southern California for a matchup with the LA Clippers, and will conclude with a contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 13th.
The Clippers defeated the Loong-Lions handily on Thursday night
