What happened: The LA Clippers have named Trent Redden as the interim president of basketball operations. He assumes the role in place of Lawrence Frank, who is currently serving a suspension.

Why it matters: The transition provides front-office leadership amid ongoing organizational changes. Interim governor John Gibson recently initiated a comprehensive review of the team following front-office penalties that included a one-year suspension for Steve Ballmer.

What to watch: The organization's operational review will continue as the franchise prepares for the 2026-27 season.
