Clippers hire Bruce Bowen to be analyst replacing Michael Smith

The Clippers have hired Bruce Bowen to be the analyst on team broadcasts, said several NBA executives who were not authorized to speak on the matter.

Bowen replaces Michael Smith, who was let go this summer after 19 seasons.

Bowen, who won three NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs, had been working for ESPN since 2009.

He will work alongside Ralph Lawler, who will be entering his 39th season with the team.

Bowen will start his assignment when the Clippers play the Toronto Raptors on Oct.
