Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) out Saturday vs. Hornets
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 6:36 AM
Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? was originally listed as questionable with a hip injury. The 33-year-old shooting guard has dealt with the injury for the better part of a week now. Bogdanovi? scored just six points in 21 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Magic. He'll have a chance to return to the lineup on Sunday when the Clippers take on the Cavaliers. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) questionable Saturday
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 6:19 AM
Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? has been on the injury report already this week with a hip injury. The 33-year-old shooting guard seems to be impacted by the injury over his last two games, playing just 21 and 26 minutes while failing to reach 10 points in either context. Normally, Bogdanovi? would be an interesting streamer with the Clippers shorthanded, but his level of play has suffered over the last two games likely because of his hip injury. |

Kawhi Leonard Haynes: Kawhi Leonard (foot) expected back Sunday
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 5:59 AM
Chris Haynes
NBA Insider Chris Haynes reports Kawhi Leonard (foot) is expected to play against the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Analysis: Leonard has missed the last nine games with a foot injury. The Clippers are 1-8 in those games and are desperate to have the 34-year-old small forward back, especially considering the injuries to Bradley Beal (hip) and Derrick Jones Jr. (knee). Hopefully the Clippers can salvage their last game without Leonard against the Hornets on Saturday. |

Chris Paul Chris Paul announces retirement after the season
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 5:53 AM
Chris Paul announced on social media that he's retiring after the season.
Analysis: Paul is in his 21st season in the NBA. The 40-year-old point guard, who is back in his home state of North Carolina to take on the Hornets, posted on social media that he's âgrateful for this last one.â Paul seems to be implying this will be his last game against the Hornets in North Carolina. The 12-time All-Star and 11-time All-NBA point guard was the fourth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Hornets. After Paul officially retires, the only question will be when, not if, he's elected to the basketball hall of fame. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac grabs 19 rebounds vs. Orlando
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 3:44 PM
Ivica Zubac accounted for 14 points (7-of-16 FGs) and 19 rebounds in Thursday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Zubac only contributed in the points and rebounds categories, but fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the production. He's up to nine double-doubles on the season, with Thursday's 19 boards being a season-high. Due to the Clippers' many injuries, Zubac and James Harden have been the team's only reliable options for fantasy managers. The Clippers end Week 5 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back against the Hornets and Cavaliers, with the latter matchup setting up to be a challenging one for Zubac due to Cleveland's tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. |

James Harden James Harden scores game-high 31 points vs. ORL
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 3:40 PM
James Harden accumulated 31 points (8-of-16 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: As has been the case for most of the season, Harden carried most of the offensive workload on Thursday, with Ivica Zubac being the only other Clipper in double figures. Harden has scored at least 31 points in three of his last four games, providing top-5 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. The Clippers continue their road trip in Charlotte on Saturday, and that should be a good matchup for Harden. |

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard ruled out for Thursday's game
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 6:44 AM
NBA.com
Kawhi Leonard (foot/ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: This will now be the ninth game in a row that Leonard has missed with his multiple foot injuries. The Clippers are just 1-7 over the first eight games without him, and would certainly love to have him back on the court, especially with Bradley Beal (hip) and Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) also out. Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders will continue to see larger roles in his absence. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller remains out on Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 6:42 AM
NBA.com
Jordan Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Clippers game against the Magic on Thursday.
Analysis: Miller was seeing an uptick in minutes before suffering this hamstring injury that has kept him out since Sunday. Kobe Sanders should see additional minutes now that Derrick Jones Jr. is also out with a knee injury. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac posts 14/13/1/1 line vs. Philadelphia
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:17 PM
Ivica Zubac tallied 14 points (7-of-13 FGs), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in Monday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Zubac's final stat line was modest, but the 7-footer did record his eighth double-double of the season on Monday. Six have been tallied over the last seven games, and just as crucial for fantasy managers is the playing time. During this seven-game stretch, Zubac has played an average of 34 minutes, even higher than his career-best mark of 32.8 last season. Brook Lopez, who was brought in to provide legitimate value as the backup center, hasn't answered the call. On Monday, he played 14 minutes and finished with six points, one rebound and one three-pointer. Until that changes, Zubac will continue to clear 30 minutes, if not approach 35. |

James Harden James Harden scores 28 but struggles from three
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:12 PM
James Harden recorded 28 points (7-of-25 FGs, 12-of-12 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Harden had two opportunities to win the game in the final seconds, but both three-point attempts missed the mark. That may have been an appropriate conclusion to what was an inefficient and frustrating night for âThe Beard.â Harden shot 2-of-12 from three and wasn't much better inside the arc, shooting 28 percent overall. A perfect night at the foul line boosted the final point total, but he's been asked to shoulder a heavy workload due to the Clippers' injuries. Fantasy managers who have Harden rostered have to hope that he doesn't get worn down. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) available Monday vs. 76ers
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 12:05 PM
Bogdan Bogdanovi? (hip) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? is dealing with a hip injury, but it won't keep him out for the second night of a back-to-back against the 76ers on Monday. With Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) sidelined for weeks, the Clippers are going to need Bogdanovi? off the bench Monday and potentially in the starting lineup in future games. |

Derrick Jones Shams: Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) to miss six weeks
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 11:09 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) will miss at least the next six weeks.
Analysis: Jones sustained a sprained MCL in his right knee during Sunday's game against the Celtics and will be re-evaluated by the Clippers' medical staff in six weeks. Without Jones, Bogdon Bogdanovic moved into the lineup and is a candidate to take Jones' place among the starters. Bogdanovic should be rostered in all formats going forward. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) questionable Monday
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 9:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the 76ers.
Analysis: This is a new injury for Bogdanovic, and it's possible he'll get a maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Kobe Brown could see increased run if Bogdanovic joins Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) on the sideline. |

James Harden Harden explodes for 37 points in loss to Celtics
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:27 PM
James Harden erupted for 37 points (9-of-22 FGs, 14-of-15 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Harden's surreal 32-point second half was the driving force behind the Clippers' late rally, as he nearly willed them to an improbable comeback win in Boston. He buried a pair of clutch three-pointers in the final 10 seconds to make it a one-point game with two seconds left, but missed a potential game-tying trey at the buzzer ??" a sequence that somehow felt like the perfect microcosm of his entire career. The 36-year-old scoring machine has topped 30 points in three of his last four contests. The Clippers will continue their seven-game road trip this week with stops in Philadelphia, Orlando, Charlotte, and Cleveland. |

Ivica Zubac Zubac records double-double in loss to Celtics
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:23 PM
Ivaca Zubac posted 16 points (6-of-10 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Zubac has been a double-double machine this season, accomplishing the feat seven times through 13 contests. The 28-year-old center had little trouble exploiting Boston's lack of interior size and depth by repeatedly going to work against Neemias Queta and Luka Garza. The Clippers probably should've gone to him more frequently in this one, but they did get 17 points in 30 minutes from fellow big man John Collins. He should continue to see an increase in opportunities on the offensive end of the floor while Kawhi Leonard remains out with knee and ankle injuries. |

Jordan Miller Jordan Miller (hamstring) will not return Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:57 AM
Law Murray
Jordan Miller (hamstring) will not return to Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Miller, who injured his hamstring during the preseason, will not return to Sunday's game due to a left hamstring injury. With Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) also done for the day, the Clippers will be light on wings. Bogdan Bogdanovi? started the third quarter; he and Kobe Brown are two players whose opportunities would increase if Miller and Jones remain sidelined. |

Derrick Jones Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) will not return Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 10:50 AM
Justin Russo
Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Jones was injured during the second quarter when Celtics wing Jaylen Brown fell into his right leg while diving for a loose ball. The Clippers forward was helped back to the locker room immediately after, not putting any weight on the injured leg. Bogdan Bogdanovi? replaced Jones in the lineup and should be considered a candidate to start if Jones is out for an extended period. |

Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdanovi? has 21 points, five threes on Friday
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 6:15 PM
Bogdan Bogdanovi? had 21 points (8-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, four steals and five three-pointers against the Mavericks on Friday.
Analysis: Bogdanovi? played 37 minutes off the bench in the Clippers' 133-127 double overtime victory over the Mavericks. The 33-year-old shooting guard had the hot hand from behind the three-point line, going 5-of-8 and scoring 21 points on 14 attempts. Bogdanovi? also recorded four steals on the defensive end. He is likely to continue to see regular minutes in the wake of Bradley Beal's injury. |

Ivica Zubac Zubac has 27 points, 11 boards in double-OT win
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 6:09 PM
Ivica Zubac had 27 points (11-of-15 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block against the Mavericks on Friday.
Analysis: Zubac played 46 minutes of the Clippers' 133-127 double overtime victory over the Mavericks on Friday. The 28-year-old center put up 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while also recording a block and a steal. Zubac is next in line for looks after James Harden with Kawhi Leonard (ankle) out, which only adds to his value. |

James Harden Harden has 41-point triple-double in double-OT win
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 6:04 PM
James Harden had 41 points (13-of-25 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, two blocks and six three-pointers in the Clippers' 133-127 victory over the Mavericks on Friday.
Analysis: Harden had at least 35 points for the second time in his last three games. The 36-year-old point guard once again took over the offense with Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal out. Harden scored 41 points in 51 minutes in the double overtime victory while recording a triple-double. He has a big ceiling when he's the centerpiece of the offense and that was evident again Friday night. |
