Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Rejoins parent club
Rotowire
The Clippers recalled Niederhauser from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Saturday.
Niederhauser is back with the Clippers ahead of Sunday's game versus the Nets, but he's unlikely to be part of the rotation since LA will have Ivica Zubac and Brook Lopez available at center. The rookie first-round pick will likely be headed back to the G League in the near future to see extended playing time.

Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Excels in supporting role
Rotowire
Niederhauser ended with 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 victory over the Wizards.
Niederhauser played through an illness and logged 23 minutes during the victory. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined, the Clippers needed support in the frontcourt, and Niederhauser platooned under the basket with Brook Lopez. The rookie proved to be the more effective option, and while Lopez's backup role is likely safe, Niederhauser is making a strong case for more time.

Rotowire
Niederhauser (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Rotowire
Niederhauser amassed six points (3-7 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 win over Utah.
Niederhauser has taken on a larger role with Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined, logging 25 and 27 minutes over the past two games.

Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Shines in relief with 16 points
Rotowire
Niederhauser provided 16 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 131-90 victory over the Kings.
Although John Collins made an appearance despite an injury tag, the team elected to sit him midway through the third quarter. Niederhauser stepped in and scored 11 of his 16 points in cleanup duty. Ivica Zubac's (ankle) absence has affected the depth chart, and it's given the 2025 first-round pick a bit of a minute boost. The Penn State product isn't relevant in fantasy at the moment, but he could see more time if injuries mount in the frontcourt.

Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Plays garbage time in loss
Rotowire
Niederhauser played the final 3:40 of Monday's 121-103 loss to the Grizzlies, finishing with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound.
After being recalled from the G League's San Diego Clippers earlier in the day, Niederhauser suited up for the parent club Monday but once again found himself outside of the rotation, with his playing time coming well after the Grizzlies had the game in hand. Though the 6-20 Clippers don't appear to view Niederhauser as an NBA-ready contributor just yet, the rookie first-round pick could nonetheless be in the mix for more meaningful run in competitive games behind top center Ivica Zubac once the team fades from playoff contention.

Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Double-doubles in preseason win
Rotowire
Niederhauser notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 26 minutes in Friday's 106-103 preseason win over the Warriors.
Niederhauser finished as the Clippers' third-leading scorer and was one of four Los Angeles players to reach double figures. The rookie big man also grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds. The No. 30 overall pick in the 2025 Draft is expected to provide center depth for the club in 2025-26, though he could see increased playing time if Ivica Zubac or Brook Lopez (rest) misses time.

Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Available for Thursday
Rotowire
Niederhauser (back) is set to be available for Thursday's preseason opener against the Guangzhou Loong Lions, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Niederhauser sat out the end of the Las Vegas Summer League with a back injury, but he's healthy for the beginning of exhibition play. That said, the rookie first-rounder would likely need one of Ivica Zubac or Brook Lopez to go down with an injury in order to realistically carve out a meaningful role from the second unit during his first season.
