San Diego Clippers return, this time as Oceanside's G League team

The fine print: The reconstituted San Diego Clippers won't be returning to their old home at Pechanga Arena.

• Instead, they'll become a marquee tenant of Oceanside's new Frontwave Arena, expected to open in September.
• The 7,500-seat arena will also be the new home of the San Diego Sockers indoor soccer team.
• A private group — which includes Sudberry Properties, developers of the nearby El Corazon projects — is building the $85 million arena, the Union-Tribune reported last year.

Zoom in: The G League — the NBA's developmental minor league — has 31 teams, 29 of which have direct relationships with parent teams in the NBA, similar to minor league baseball.

• At the start of this season, 50% of NBA players had appeared on a G League roster at one point, an all-time high.
