The 2002–03 Los Angeles Clippers season was their 33rd season in the NBA, their 19th in Los Angeles. During the offseason, the Clippers acquired Andre Miller from the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the acquisition of Miller, there was a sense of optimism surrounding the Clippers for the first time in years. However, young players were concerned with stats for free agency than winning games, which created tension in the locker room all year. With all the Clippers playing as individuals, the team fell apart early into the season and sank back to the bottom of the Pacific Division with a 27–55 record. Following the season, head coach Alvin Gentry was fired, Lamar Odom signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat, Michael Olowokandi signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Miller signed with the Denver Nuggets.
