“Clipper nation, what’s up, Russ here,” Brodie said. “I’m at Jesse Owens Park at my camp. But I just want to let you guys know I’m excited to be back.
“I’m looking forward to a great year. We’re going to turn up again. I’m excited to be back, looking forward to seeing you all at the games. Go Clippers.”
