Legendary player and executive Jerry West will return to the LA Clippers next season, according to a report from the LA Times‘ Andrew Greif. Per the report, he’ll keep the same role he’s had with the organization since he hopped aboard in June 2017.
This is obviously an enormous win for the Clippers, a franchise that has seen nothing but front office success since Steve Ballmer became the new owner of the team in 2014. West’s name hasn’t been directly attached to many of the Clippers’ moves since he agreed to join the team, but it’s clear that he’s influenced most of the decisions made during that period of time.
