The LA Clippers announced last month that the team would return to Hawaii for their second consecutive training camp.

“The LA Clippers have announced that they will return to Hawaii to kick off the 2024-25 preseason, in partnership with the Hawaiian Islands,” the team wrote on Aug. 27. “This is the fifth training camp on the islands since 2017.”

The Clippers also revealed they will play an NBA preseason game against the Golden State Warriors in Hawaii on Oct. 5. Golden State will hold its training camp at BYU-Hawaii on Oahu’s North Shore before coming to face LA at the University of Hawaii’s SimpliFi Arena Stan Sheriff Center.

In a report of Duane Shimogawa of KITV Island NewsIt was revealed that the Clippers will receive $750,000 from Hawaii to host their training camp there.

“Hawaii is paying the Los Angeles Clippers $750,000 as part of a partnership that would bring the basketball team to the islands for training camp and a preseason game in Honolulu against the Golden State Warriors in October,” Shimogawa wrote.

Shimogawa added, “Public records show that the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) will benefit from several marketing opportunities during both the Clippers’ time in Hawaii and Los Angeles, including being named the official partner of the LA Clippers.”

The Clippers held training camp in Hawaii last preseason and opened a new technology center at a local middle school.

It was just one of many community events the Clippers participated in during their preseason trip to Hawaii, as the team also joined other Los Angeles sports teams in pledging $450,000 to those affected by the Maui wildfires.

The Clippers donated net ticket proceeds from last year’s preseason game in Hawaii against the Utah Jazz to the Maui Strong Fund.
