The Clippers will return to China in 2015.
As part of the NBA Global Games China 2015, the Clippers will play two preseason games against Charlotte in Shenzhen and Shanghai in October.
"Returning to China to participate in the NBA Global Games China is another important step in establishing the Clippers as a first-class international franchise," Clippers owner Steve Ballmer said in a release. "We are looking forward to representing Los Angeles and the NBA as we bring our exciting brand of basketball to all of our fans in China."
This is the second time the Clippers will play in China as part of the Global Games. In 2012, the Clippers played the Miami Heat there.
The Clippers have also played international preseason games in Mexico City in 2010 and Russia in 2006.
The game in Shenzen -- the first NBA game to be held in that city -- will be Oct. 11 at Shenzhen Universiade Center. The game in Shanghai is Oct. 14 at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
