As part of Steve Ballmer's ongoing process to put his personal stamp on the Clippers, the team is considering options for a mascot.
While talks are past the preliminary stages, no decisions have been made as to the name, look or species of the mascot.
A new mascot likely wouldn't debut until midway through this season or the start of the 2016-17 year.
The team has adopted a new logo, uniforms and color scheme this season, Ballmer's second as owner.
