The 2024–25 Los Angeles Clippers season was the 55th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 47th season in Southern California, and their 1st season in Inglewood. The Clippers moved to the new Intuit Dome before the start of the season. On June 12, 2024, the NBA announced that the former great Lakers player and Clippers executive consultant Jerry West had died, several months removed from his third and final entry into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame (this time as a contributor to the sport both as an executive and as a consultant). Six days later, on June 18, Jeff Van Gundy would join the Clippers' coaching staff as an assistant coach, returning to a coaching staff for the first time since 2007. This was the first season since 2018–19 without Paul George, as on June 30, the Clippers announced that he will not return to the franchise.
Before the season opener commenced, it was announced that Kawhi Leonard would be out for an indefinite period of time due to an inflamed right knee, leaving James Harden as the only star player for the team during that period of time. For their season opener at the newly created Intuit Dome, the Clippers would have their opening night spoiled with a tense 116–113 overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns (though they would win their very first game held there against the Dallas Mavericks 110–96 during the preseason). They would eventually get their first win at their new home arena with a 113–104 win over the San Antonio Spurs on November 4, 2024. During the season, the Clippers would have their January 11, 2025 match against the Charlotte Hornets postponed due to the January 2025 Southern California wildfires.
On April 13, the Clippers clinched their third consecutive playoff berth following their victory over the Golden State Warriors. They would lose to the Denver Nuggets in the First Round.
Following the 2025 NBA Finals, where the Oklahoma City Thunder won the championship over the Indiana Pacers in seven games, the Clippers were mocked on social media for their trade of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for Paul George.
| Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | College / club |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 46 | Cam Christie | SG | United States | Minnesota |
The Clippers entered this draft (which was two days long) with only one second-round pick. On the second and final day of the draft, the Clippers used their only pick of the draft to select shooting guard Cam Christie from the University of Minnesota. They had already traded their 2025 first-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2019 as an exchange for Paul George; the pick eventually landed with the Washington Wizards on draft night.
- Forward Nicolas Batum makes his second tour of duty with the team having played for them from 2020 to 2023.
- Center Mo Bamba is the 32nd former Lakers player to play for the Clippers. He played in 28 games before getting traded in February.

During the preseason, the Clippers would play their final games under what was previously named Bally Sports West and Bally Sports SoCal. Bally Sports would rebrand itself to the FanDuel Sports Network before the start of the regular season.
The groups were revealed during the tournament announcement on July 12, 2024.
