Clippers vs. Wizards Summer League 2026-07-15

Clippers Forum » Clippers Game Day

Who are you most excited to watch in the Summer League game versus the Wizards? Which rookie or young player will impress the coaching staff? Who might earn a training camp invite?

I want a 20+PPG showing from Wagler. Also looking forward to Baba Miller and Martinelli putting up some points.

Looks like Wagler won't play on a back to back night. Pedulla, Sanders, Martinelli, Baba Miller & Telfort starting. #1 pick Dybantsa won't play for the Wiz.

B2B bingos by Martinelli & Sanders- Clips up 6-2.

Ouch Telfort gets scratched in the eye and has to go to the locker room. Hope it's too serious.

Tempers have flared multiple times already in these Clipper summer league games. That was not a friendly interaction between Baba Miller and Agbakoko.

This is utterly stupid. Why the hell are they not having Wagler play? He's not an old fart like Kawhi that has to sit out games for preventative rest. This is a wasted opportunity to get him in playing shape and used to the physicality of the NBA.

Riley Kugel with a nifty behind the back fake pass layup. Game notched at 25 after 1.

Telfort, with stitches above his eye, comes back to start the second just in time to lob in a mini J

Lol that's pretty cool that Jeremy Lin is commentating. Kenny Smith has joined now for some fun banter.

Yeah too early in Wagler's career for load management for sure, but maybe he tweaked something and they're just taking extra precautions. But yeah Wiz shutdown Dybantsa for the rest of the summer league already AFAIK.

Kobe Sanders showing out this first half. Fastbreak slam ties it at 42. Kobe now has 14 with a pair of 3's.

Smart play by Sanders to leak out for the pass but not touch the ball until necessary. Gets a layup at the buzzer. Clips up 52-51 at the half.

Sanders the lob, Miller skies for the jam!

Martintelli splashes the open bingo- he's a perfect 4 of 4 FGs, how has 10 points.

Excellent news! I hope both he and Baba can have strong games. I'm a little disappointed that we resigned Lopez, which will prevent Bab from getting some heavy minutes.

Nice win! Many guys did well lead by Kobe Sanders' 26-3-5. Martinelli missed just one shot, 19-5-2, Omier 11 and 15 in just 18 minutes. Pedulla 16 and 11 assists though shot only 5 of 16. Baba Miller 12 and 4 in just 20 minutes.

Clippers have have one consolation game to go after this one- hopefully Wagler will play.

Yeah they both had good games, especially Martinelli. Nick plays hard and does a lot of little things in addition to his ability to score. Lopez IMO is still needed for his rim protection + 3 point shooting, but as Niederhauser is likely out until December, Miller should get solid minutes. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see the Clippers sign another big man before training camp.

I get that aspect. With Yanic out we need some presence. But I just think there might have been better options out there. Lopez is just a stop gap. I would have preferred the Clippers to have let him go and find a younger, serviceable center that could have a long term presence here

Sounds a lot like Zubac lol. Then again, we wouldn't have Wagler or Mathurin's bird rights so I guess it evens out. But from the looks of things, having a big like Zubac would trump having the smaller players for this current roster

No, it doesn't even out. Having Wagler, Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, and another 1st is a fleece. I love Zubac, and he's going to do well for them, but we got the better end of that deal.
