Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 2:30 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is not longer on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Leonard is off the injury report and should be back in the starting lineup vs. the Warriors. The two-time Finals MVP averaged a career-high 27.9 points per game this regular season. He'll play a pivotal role for the Clippers as they look to avoid elimination. |

Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 9:37 AM
Law Murray
Isaiah Jackson (ankle) fully participated in Tuesday's practice, including 5-on-5.
Analysis: Jackson has been out since spraining his ankle during a March 27 win over the Pacers, leaving the Clippers without a legitimate backup center. John Collins has filled the void in Jackson's absence and would continue to do so if he can't return for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? hits five triples, scores 17
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 5:07 PM
Bogdan Bogdanovi? tallied 17 points (6-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, two blocks and five three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Sunday's game was the second for Bogdanovi? since March 23, and he had one of his most productive outings of the season. The veteran wing shot 5-of-8 from beyond the arc against the Warriors, matching his season-high in that category. And the 17 points were the most in a game for Bogdanovi? since November 14, when he scored a season-high 21 in a double-overtime win over the Mavericks. Given what the Clippers' rotation has looked like on most nights since the All-Star break, there may not be many opportunities available to Bogdanovi? in Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin leads Clippers with 20 points
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 5:07 PM
Bennedict Mathurin recorded 20 points (7-of-17 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Mathurin capped the regular season with a solid overall performance, finishing one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. And he played 32 minutes, the lone Clipper to surpass 30, which may have been an attempt by head coach Tyronn Lue to build up the young wing's confidence. Mathurin entered Sunday having totaled 24 points on 6-of-22 shooting in his prior four appearances. Even with Kawhi Leonard back in the fold, the Clippers will need a productive Mathurin to navigate the Play-In Tournament and reach the playoffs. |

John Collins John Collins posts 18 points, nine rebounds
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 5:05 PM
John Collins accounted for 18 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) and nine rebounds in Sunday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: With no Kawhi Leonard (ankle), Collins returned to the Clippers' starting lineup after coming off the bench in three of the previous four games. He finished one rebound shy of a double-double against the Warriors, but Collins produced nothing else in his 21 minutes on the floor. Leonard will be available for Wednesday's rematch with the Warriors, which would relegate Collins to the backup center role he's been asked to assume since Isaiah Jackson went down. |

Joey Linn
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) has been ruled out against the Warriors on Sunday.
Analysis: The Clippers will need the Kings to beat the Trail Blazers to have a chance a the No. 8 seed in the West, so they'll prioritize extra rest for Leonard. John Collins should take on extra minutes with Leonard sidelined. This puts them on track to play the Warriors again on Wednesday in a win-or-go-home matchup. |

Isaiah Jackson Isiaah Jackson (ankle) remains out vs. Warriors
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 4:17 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Jackson has been out since March 27, and he will remain out for Sunday's season finale. John Collins has served as the backup center, a role that eventually prompted Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue to move him to the bench. With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) questionable, Collins' opportunities may increase on Sunday. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard (ankle) questionable vs. Warriors
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 4:14 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Leonard is on the injury report with a left ankle sprain, initially sustained in late March. The Clippers will need help to secure the No. 8 seed in the West after Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers. If Leonard can't play on Sunday, John Collins' playing time is likely to increase after logging 18 minutes in Portland. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard has 24/8/5 line in loss to Blazers
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 6:55 PM
Kawhi Leonard had 24 points (10-of-20 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Leonard is just a machine. He extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 57 by dropping 24 points in the loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday. Leonard was fourth overall in per game value this year. There shouldn't be any sort of buying window for him in dynasty leagues this offseason despite him turning 35. |

Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 2:28 PM
NBA Injury Report
Darius Garland (foot) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Garland did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, as it was the Clippers' second game in as many nights. His return will push John Collins to the bench. Collins has moved to the bench to help the Clippers account for the lack of options behind starting center Brook Lopez. |

John Collins John Collins starts, posts 12/9/3 line in loss
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 7:35 PM
John Collins added 12 points (5-of-11 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer in the loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.
Analysis: Collins started on Wednesday for the injured Darius Garland to give the Clippers a bigger opening unit. He did solid work on the glass and was decent as a scorer in his 27 minutes, ultimately falling just short of a double-double. Collins has had an up-and-down season with the Clippers, with highs and lows coming in bunches. Whether or not he remains in the starting unit once Garland returns remains to be seen. He and the Clippers face the Trail Blazers on Friday in a game that could determine which team gets the Western Conference's eighth seed and two guaranteed chances in the Play-In Tournament to advance. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller scores 16 points Wednesday vs. OKC
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 7:29 PM
Jordan Miller added 16 points (6-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in the loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.
Analysis: Miller was one of the Clippers' most impactful performers against OKC. He scored efficiently and produced well off the bench, and also finished in a tie for a team-high in assists during his 30 minutes. Wednesday's outing was another strong one in what's been a breakout season for the third-year guard. He continues to be one of the Clippers' best and most reliable bench options. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard scores 20 points in loss to Thunder
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 7:24 PM
Kawhi Leonard produced 20 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in the loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard extended his streak of 20-point games to 56 on Wednesday. However, Oklahoma City's defense made things tough on him throughout the night, as he shot under 50.0 percent from the field and committed three turnovers. The former two-time Finals MVP contributed on the glass and was solid from beyond the arc, but Wednesday certainly wasn't one of his more productive outings. |

John Collins John Collins to start Wednesday vs. Oklahoma City
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 2:34 PM
Grant Mona
John Collins will replace Darius Garland (foot) in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Wednesday's game is the second in as many nights for the Clippers, who beat the Mavericks on Tuesday. As a result, Garland will sit for injury management reasons, with Collins moving into the starting lineup. Kris Dunn will run the point, which raises his fantasy ceiling. |

Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 10:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Darius Garland (foot) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Wednesday's game is the second in as many nights for the Clippers, so Garland's sitting is not a surprise. With John Collins taking on the backup center responsibilities, he may remain with the second unit. Kobe Sanders is another option to step into the starting lineup if the Clippers prefer to bring Collins off the bench. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland has 22 points, two threes in win
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 7:05 PM
Darius Garland had 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, four assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Garland had 22 points on 18 field goal attempts in Tuesday's win over the Mavericks. The 26-year-old point guard wasn't as efficient as he had been recently and only had four assists. He's provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. Garland should thrive in his first full season with the Clippers next year as long as they keep Kawhi Leonard. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard has 34 points, six threes in win
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 6:59 PM
Kawhi Leonard had 34 points (11-of-19 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointers in the Clippers' 116-103 victory over the Mavericks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Leonard continues to finish off a strong season where he's provided top-five per game value. The small forward has impressively appeared in 63 games so far after appearing in just 37 games last year. Leonard turns 35 this offseason, but is still playing at a high level. |

Darius Garland Darius Garland has 17/4/6 line in win over Kings
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 5:41 PM
Darius Garland had 17 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Garland was well on his way to scoring at least 20 points and potentially flirting with 10 assists, but he only played 24 minutes because the Clippers were blowing out the Kings. The 26-year-old point guard has been excellent lately, providing eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers close out the regular season with four games in the final week, beginning with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday. |

Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 5:30 PM
John Collins had 25 points (9-of-20 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Collins' 25 points were tied with one other game for his season-high in points this year. The 28-year-old only played 24 minutes due to the lopsided score, but still had an excellent game due to his efficiency. Collins has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers have four games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard has 26 points, three threes in win
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 5:24 PM
Kawhi Leonard had 26 points (9-of-18 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in the Clippers' 138-109 victory over the Kings on Sunday.
Analysis: Leonard came out on fire in this one, dropping 13 of his 26 points in the first quarter. The 34-year-old small forward finished out another week strong as the regular season winds down. He's provided top-15 per game value over the last two weeks. Leonard and the Clippers have four games in the last week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday. |
