Yanic Konan Niederhauser (LAC): Day-To-Day

Yanic Konan Niederhauser, the Los Angeles Clippers’ center wearing jersey #14, has been diagnosed with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot and will undergo surgery. The injury places him on a day‑to‑day list but effectively rules him out for the remainder of the 2025‑26 season. He has appeared in 41 games this year, averaging 4.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.3 assists while shooting 64.0% from the field.

The Clippers sit at 42‑40, ninth in the Western Conference, with a power‑rank of 16 and a net rating of +1.1. They have gone 6‑4 in their last ten games and are on a one‑game winning streak. Losing Niederhauser reduces the team’s front‑court depth, a concern as they hover near the playoff cutoff. The club will need to rely on existing big men or explore short‑term options before the trade deadline, while anticipating Niederhauser’s return on October 1, 2026, for the next season.
