The LA Clippers executed a trade on Saturday, sending P.J. Tucker, Mo Bamba, a second-round pick, and cash to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills. This move allowed the Clippers to shed Tucker's $11 million contract, placing them $4.1 million below the luxury tax threshold and creating a $6.5 million trade exception. With Ivica Zubac needing backup, the search for a starting-caliber center continues, as Bamba, after averaging 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 28 games with LA, was waived shortly after the trade.

Following their loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Clippers' record has slipped to 28-21. The Clippers are now focused on strengthening their roster as they navigate the challenges of the season.
