Agua Caliente Clippers Tickets

Rising stars in G League basketball: the Agua Caliente Clippers

True fans of basketball in the UK will know that the Agua Caliente Clippers are a development league affiliate of the US professional basketball franchise, the Los Angeles Clippers, two of the really big teams in town. At their games is where you can watch future pro basketball stars in action, so if you live and breathe the game, you'll definitely want to buy or sell Agua Caliente Clippers tickets on StubHub.

Explore the US basketball farm system

The American professional sports franchises take their so-called "farm systems" very seriously. Unlike in the UK, where a professional soccer or rugby team will have its second and third teams that share the same club name and use the same training facilities, US clubs buy lower league teams around the country, and enter them into the league tiers that lead to the highest levels of the game. The Agua Caliente Clippers are based in Ontario, California, which is about 50 miles inland of Los Angeles, while their parent team is in LA itself. That would be like having Manchester United's second team based in Liverpool. Utterly unthinkable. But such is the nature of the game across the pond, and the result is that sports-mad Americans pay little attention to regional boundaries, supporting the teams themselves, even it means that Toronto Blue Jays baseball fans go and watch their club's second division team in Florida! In the case of these Clippers, fans flock to the Toyota Arena, a massive multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex, which is one of the largest and most modern in California. That's exactly where you should head with your Agua Caliente Clippers tickets.

Just missing out on the G League playoffs

The Agua Caliente Clippers play in the American National Basketball Association (NBA) G League, which is officially designated the G League of the sport. This was previously the D League, but was renamed when it signed a sponsor-naming rights deal with Gatorade. Nearby rivalries include a newly established one with the Santa Cruz Warriors, to whom the Clippers lost a division playoff spot in 2019 by a slender two points, thanks to a shot taken literally in the last second of the game. Still, this was the team's most successful season to date, and placed them solidly in the middle of their conference. The team has only been affiliated to the LA Clippers since 2018, when previously they were one of the two affiliates of the Phoenix Suns from neighbouring Arizona, before losing their affiliation at the end of the 2017 basketball season. The LA side was without a developmental team, so the purchase made sense all round. Now Agua Caliente Clippers tickets are hot items in what's known as California's "Inland Empire", so make sure you get your share of them on StubHub.
