Yanic Konan Niederhäuser News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Cleared to face Timberwolves Niederhauser (illness) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Janis Carr of the OC Register reports.

Impact Niederhauser left Friday's game early due to an illness, but the issue won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. With Ivica Zubac having been traded to the Pacers, Niederhauser is left to compete with Isaiah Jackson (recently traded) and Brook Lopez for center minutes.

Cleans up in garbage time Niederhauser closed Wednesday's 124-91 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks over 25 minutes.

Impact Niederhauser played a good chunk of the second half Wednesday with the Cavs fully in control. The Clippers elected to pull Brook Lopez early given the score, and with Ivica Zubac (personal) sidelined, Niederhauser received plenty of looks. The big man took full advantage of the blowout by turning in his best scoring performance since Jan. 14, and his best rebounding night since Jan. 1. He also set a new season high in swats.

Recalled to NBA Los Angeles recalled Niederhauser from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Saturday.

Impact Niederhauser will return to the NBA team ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Nets, but he'll be unlikely to see significant action after coming off the bench in all of his 24 appearances in the current season. However, he has been an occasional contributor of points and rebounds and has been productive in the G League, where he has four double-doubles in nine games.

Excels in supporting role 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.

Impact 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 Niederahuser 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.

Officially available Niederhauser (illness) has been cleared to play Monday against the Warriors.

Impact Niederhauser was upgraded to probable a few hours before tipoff, and he's now been officially cleared to suit up. He saw only six minutes in his last appearance Saturday against Boston with Ivica Zubac back in action, and he'll likely have a hard time finding opportunities again Monday.

Questionable to face Golden State Niederhauser (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Niederhauser is under the weather and could miss his first game since Dec. 20. However, the rookie big man's potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation with Ivica Zubac back in action following a five-game absence due to a sprained ankle.

Grabs 10 rebounds in win 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.

Impact Niederhauser has taken on a larger role with Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined, logging 25 and 27 minutes over the past two games. The 2025 first-round pick finished second on the team in rebounds, with six of them being offensive boards, and tied for the team lead with two blocks. The rookie center is averaging 11.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 26 minutes over the past two games.

Shines in relief with 16 points 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.

Impact Although John Collins made an appearance despite an injury tag, the team elected to sit him midway through the third quarter. Neiderhauser 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.

Back in NBA but out Thursday Los Angeles recalled Niederhauser (knee) from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Wednesday, but he is ruled out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Niederhauser is dealing with a knee injury that will sideline him at least for Thursday's contest. However, his absence will not impact the Clippers' rotation very much, as he is buried in the depth chart.

Plays garbage time in loss 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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
