The LA Clippers are positioning themselves to make ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Thursday.
In order to position themselves for a trade deadline move, they made a preemptive trade.
The LA Clippers traded Mfiondu aKabengele to the Sacramento Kings.
The loss of Mfiondu Kabengele was to be expected. The second-year center found himself out of the Clippers rotation and once the team decided not to pick up his third year option this offseason, the writing was on the wall.
Fi was drafted 27th overall by the LA Clippers in the 2019 draft and looked to be someone the Clippers could grow into a stretch five.
