Bruce Bowen Will Not Return as Clippers’ TV Analyst, per Report
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Bruce Bowen will not be returning for a second season alongside legendary Ralph Lawler as the Clippers’ TV analyst. The full article can be found here.
While Bowen was an employee of Fox Sports West, the Clippers have huge input into who gets hired at those broadcast positions, and they declined approval on Bowen’s second season.
The reason for the turnaround (Bowen was expected to return) was Bowen’s negative comments on Kawhi Leonard. He thought Kawhi mishandled the situation, and complained about his team giving him bad advice. His comments might be accurate, but for the Clippers, they were a no-go.
