Every year, the Clippers schedule (and that of the Lakers and the L.A. Kings) is built around the GRAMMYs at the end of January. The award show requires at least 10 days to set up in the home of all three teams, which means they all have to get out of the building for an extended period of time.
This year, even though the GRAMMYs have been postponed, the road trip remains, and the Clippers have the longest road stretch of any team in the NBA this season, an eight-game doozy that spans 13 days and includes two back-to-backs.
