Bogdan Bogdanovic Considered Questionable for Tuesday

According to Law Murray of The Athletic, Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Due to a left hip contusion, the 33-year-old sharpshooter is at risk of missing his third consecutive contest. With Bradley Beal (hip) sidelined for the rest of the season, Bogdanovic has had a much larger role in the Clippers' rotation lately, averaging 25.7 minutes per contest. If he is unable to suit up, fantasy managers should expect rookie Kobe Sanders to take on extra minutes this evening.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Remains Out Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's meetings with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. A left hip contusion will keep Bogdanovic sidelined for a second consecutive game. Due to Bradley Beal's (hip) injury, Bogdanovic has had a much larger role in the Clippers' rotation lately, averaging 28.0 minutes a night. His absence from the lineup means more minutes for Cam Christie, who missed a double-double by just two points and one rebound in Saturday's victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

Kawhi Leonard Off the Injury Report, Cleared to Suit Up on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is off the injury report and will suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 34-year-old had played well before going down with an ankle injury, averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.5 steals while shooting 40.0% from behind the arc. He'll likely see limited action in his first contest back from a 10-game layoff. However, Leonard can be plugged back into the starting lineup for fantasy managers, regardless of format. With that said, his return should mean less minutes and scoring opportunities for John Collins, Kris Dunn, and Kobe Sanders, with at least one of them in line to head back to the bench.

Kawhi Leonard Expected to Return on Sunday

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is expected to return on Sunday in Cleveland. The 34-year-old wasn't available for Saturday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. Fortunately, it appears he'll be back from his 10-game layoff versus the 11-6 Cavaliers. Leonard had played well before going down with the injury, averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.5 steals while shooting 40.0% from behind the arc. There hasn't been any word about a minutes cap, although it's possible. However, even with the potential for limited action, Leonard can be plugged back into all fantasy lineups.

Kawhi Leonard Sidelined for Saturday's Game Against Hornets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will miss Saturday's matchup in Charlotte, marking his 10th consecutive absence. Leonard opened the season in peak form, putting up 24.3 points with 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.5 minutes while shooting 50.5 percent from the field. His continued absence, paired with Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) being out multiple weeks, leaves the Clippers thin at both forward spots. James Harden absorbs more of the scoring and creation load, while John Collins and Ivica Zubac take on steadier touches. Nicolas Batum and Bogdan Bogdanovic remain the primary wing replacements, and Kobe Sanders should continue holding a larger rotation role.

Kawhi Leonard Remains Out Against Magic

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. The two-time Finals MVP had a strong start to the season, but unfortunately, he has run into health issues again. Over the first six games of the season, Leonard averaged 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 steals. Nicolas Batum's workload has increased since Leonard's exit from the lineup, with the French veteran even picking up some starts. However, Batum's fantasy value has remained low due to his underwhelming numbers. Despite averaging over 21 minutes of action over the last eight games, Batum has been limited to 5.5 points and 3.0 rebounds.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Set to Suit Up Monday

Law Murray of The Athletic reports that Los Angeles Clippers forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) will be available to suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Bogdanovic was considered questionable due to a hip injury, but he will play in the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back set. Across seven games this campaign, the 33-year-old veteran wing has averaged 16.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals in 36.0 minutes per contest. With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and Derrick Jones (knee) out of action this evening, Bogdanovic could be a viable fantasy option, as he will see plenty of extra minutes and scoring opportunities in Philadelphia.

Derrick Jones Jr. Out Six Weeks With a Sprained MCL in Right Knee

ESPN's Shams Charania reports Monday that Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in six weeks. Jones' injury occurred during Sunday's 121-118 loss to the Celtics. Before the setback, the 28-year-old was averaging a career high of 10.9 points per contest. He was also in the team's starting five through 13 outings, producing 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.1 assists across 24.9 minutes per game. With Jones out for the foreseeable future, expect veterans Nicolas Batum, Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) and 23-year-old Kobe Sanders to see expanded roles on the floor.

Derrick Jones Jr. Ruled Out Monday vs. 76ers

Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Clippers are on the end of a back-to-back and have opted sit Jones for the first time this season. Jones has started every game for the Clippers, posting 10.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks per game. Jones has maintained an effective field goal percentage of 62.0, utilizing James Harden's playmaking ability to find open looks in the offense. The banged-up Clippers will continue to run their offense through Harden on Monday, and fantasy owners should expect a big day from the veteran.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable with Hip Soreness

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is listed as questionable on the team's injury report ahead of their Monday night matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Bogdanovic played 35 minutes in last night's 118-121 loss to the Celtics, and the team could opt to rest him at the end of their back-to-back tonight. He has started two of the seven games he's played this season, averaging a career-low 9.7 points while shooting just 40.4% from the field. Kris Dunn and Kobe Sanders would likely be the biggest beneficiaries if the veteran sharpshooter is unable to play.

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out for Monday's Matchup

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will not play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Leonard last appeared for the Clippers on November 3 and is going to miss his eighth game of the season after appearing in just six. Leonard's continued absence leaves James Harden without a secondary creator in the lineup, resulting in a massive 29.5% usage rate for the 36-year-old guard. The Clippers continue to utilize point guard Kris Dunn in the starting lineup while Leonard sits. Despite the extra minutes, Dunn has struggled to carve out a role for fantasy lineups. Look for Harden to have another big night, as he is flashing signs of his prime ability as the leader of the team.

Derrick Jones Jr. Won't Return on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. The 28-year-old logged 11 minutes. Unfortunately, that's all fantasy managers would get out of Jones before he suffered a knee injury caused by a loose ball dive by Jaylen Brown. He needed assistance off the floor, and his next step will likely be further testing to determine the extent of his condition. Jones has started in all 12 of the Clippers' contests this season, averaging 10.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks. With that said, Los Angeles is already dealing with its share of injuries, so adding another name to an extensive list isn't good news for the four-win team. Bogdan Bogdanovic replaced him and could potentially see some action with the starting lineup moving ahead.

Kawhi Leonard Out on Friday vs. Mavs

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Dallas, marking his sixth straight absence. With Leonard out, James Harden remains a must-start after averaging 29.0 points, 9.0 assists, and 6.0 rebounds over his last two games, including a 35-point triple-double against Atlanta. Derrick Jones Jr. and Bogdan Bogdanovic may benefit with additional scoring opportunities on the wing, while Kris Dunn, Cam Christie, and Nicolas Batum will continue to see increased minutes but remain fringe fantasy options for now.

Bradley Beal Will Undergo Season-Ending Hip Surgery

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Los Angeles Clippers guard Bradley Beal (hip) has sustained a fracture in his left hip and will undergo season-ending surgery. The injury occurred during Saturday's 114-103 loss to the Suns. Beal was unavailable for Monday's 105-102 loss to the Hawks and further imaging confirmed the fracture. In his shortened first campaign with the Clippers, the 32-year-old struggled to make much of a fantasy impact, averaging 8.2 points and 1.7 assists in 20.0 minutes per game. With Beal now sidelined for the remainder of the season, veteran guards James Harden and Kris Dunn are expected to shoulder increased backcourt responsibilities for Los Angeles.

Bradley Beal Out with Hip Soreness

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bradley Beal (hip) will remain out Wednesday against the Nuggets, marking his second straight absence. Head coach Tyronn Lue admitted there's concern Beal could miss additional time. Even when healthy, Beal has struggled to make a fantasy impact, averaging just 8.2 points, 1.7 assists, and 1.2 threes in 20 minutes per game on 37.5 percent shooting. With both Beal and Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sidelined, James Harden should continue to dominate the offense, fresh off a stellar 35-point, 11-assist outing. Kris Dunn is a sneaky short-term add for assists and steals, as his defensive activity and secondary playmaking fit well in the current rotation. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Derrick Jones Jr. should also see bumps in usage. Beal remains a big name but is over-rostered at this point, especially in standard leagues where his floor has been far too low.

Kawhi Leonard to Miss "Next Few Games"

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will remain sidelined for Monday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks and will miss "the next few games," according to head coach Tyronn Lue. Monday's matchup will mark Leonard's fourth consecutive absence due to a right ankle sprain. According to Lue, medical tests indicate the injury is unlikely to be a long-term problem for the veteran star. Health issues have often kept Leonard back, but he's been highly productive when on the court. This season, Leonard has averaged 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 steals, shooting 50.5 percent from the field. Kris Dunn has made his first three starts of the season during Leonard's absence, but his numbers have been fairly underwhelming.

Bradley Beal Questionable to Suit Up Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bradley Beal (hip) is on the injury report as questionable for Monday's clash against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran star exited Saturday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns due to a sore left hip, and the issue could now keep him sidelined for the entire game on Monday. Due to health issues, Beal has made only six appearances with the Clippers, averaging a disappointing 8.2 points in 20.2 minutes. Bogdan Bogdanovic may return to the rotation if Beal can't play on Monday. However, the Serbian sniper has been inconsistent this season, making him a risky fantasy play.

Kawhi Leonard Out Again on Saturday with a Right Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (right ankle sprain) will remain out for Saturday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns, marking his third straight missed game. Leonard had been in excellent form before the injury, averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 steals on 50.5% shooting through six games. In his absence, the Clippers have relied on James Harden to lead the offense, while John Collins and Derrick Jones Jr. have stepped up with added scoring and defensive activity. Bogdan Bogdanovic has also made the most of his extended minutes and could continue to contribute as a steady scoring option on the wing. Fantasy managers should stay patient with Leonard, as this appears to be a short-term setback. Once he's cleared, he should quickly resume his high-efficiency, two-way production for the Clippers.

Bradley Beal Back in Action Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bradley Beal (rest) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns. He missed Tuesday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder for rest purposes as the team wrapped up a back-to-back. In Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat, Beal had his best outing as a Clipper, putting up 12 points. So far this season, he has averaged only 20.5 minutes per game, but we should see a lot more of Beal against his former team on Thursday night. The Clippers will head into battle without James Harden (personal) and Kawhi Leonard (ankle), giving the likes of Beal, John Collins, and Bogdan Bogdanovic a chance to contribute more on the offensive end.

Kawhi Leonard Remains Out Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday versus the Phoenix Suns. The two-time Finals MVP is dealing with an ankle sprain, and the team doesn't want to rush him back. Before exiting the lineup for the second leg of a back-to-back earlier this week, Leonard had not missed any games in 2025-26. He leads the Clippers in scoring with 24.3 points per game and has also tallied 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 steals. Nicolas Batum started in Leonard's place on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder but had an anonymous 18-minute outing, making him a poor fantasy option.
