Watch - Clippers strengthen their team cohesion with a softball game

It hasn't been the best summer for Clippers Nation, as Paul George decided to call quits on the team. Finding themselves in a bit of a Catch-22 situation, the front office did manage to make a couple of vital signings for the team, prioritizing defense as a skill set.

In what could be marked as the beginning of the Intuit Dome era, the Clippers have already begun their team-building exercises, be it the Rico Hines Runs or, more recently, playing softball during their minicamp in Arizona.

In the clip circulating on social media, Mo Bamba hoists his bat in celebration and shares high-fives with Derrick Jones Jr. and other teammates. In the background, James Harden is animated.

With less than a month until training camp begins, the Clippers squad has been working on developing team chemistry. This has a lot to do with the new entrants on the team, such as DJJ, Mo Bamba, Kevin Porter Jr., Kris Dunn, and Nicolas Batum.

Below is a thread of Clips members having a gala time playing softball.

Terance Mann, who participated in the fun activity, shared his disappointment on social media : " I lost a softball game today… Smh, that one hurt."

Currently in Arizona for a minicamp, the Clippers are one of the biggest underdogs going into the 2024-25 season. Despite having All-NBA players like Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, their consistency and health remain a concern for the team.

As all leading sports publications predicted, the Clippers could find themselves barely hanging in a play-in situation. Hopefully, this would motivate the team.
