The 2021–22 Los Angeles Clippers season was the 52nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 44th season in Southern California and their 38th season in Los Angeles. The Clippers qualified for the postseason via the play-in, but failed to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2018 after being defeated by both the Minnesota Timberwolves and the New Orleans Pelicans in the play-in tournament, who coincidentally made their first playoff appearances since 2018.^[1] It is also the first time in Kawhi Leonard's career that his team missed the playoffs, however, he did not feature at all for the Clippers during the season due to injury.
