The NBA and NBC/Peacock have flexed out flexed out a November 17 national TV Jazz vs Clippers game for Hornets vs Lakers. To balance out the number of national TV Laker games, a Peacock game vs the Clippers in January was flexed out. So the Clippers lose 2 national TV games with the change

The November change makes sense because the game is relatively soon and the Jazz and Clippers are both bad. But presumably since there’s a maximum number of national TV games the Lakers could play and they were already at the maximum, they had to remove a Lakers game from the schedule to balance flexing one in. TV executives apparently decided they may as well get rid of two Clippers games at once.
