Tue Apr 2 | 13:57 | Kawhi Leonard Out, Norman Powell Starting |
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This comes out of nowhere, as Leonard was not spotted on the original injury report with his right knee soreness. The 32-year-old six-time All-Star will miss his first game since March 10, and he'll hope to return during the fantasy finals for Thursday's clash against the defending-champion Denver Nuggets after returning to LA for treatment on Tuesday. Sixth man Norman Powell will vault into the Clips' starting lineup in a favorable matchup against the Kings, who are giving up the fifth-most threes per game (2.9) to opposing small forwards. Powell has hit double scoring figures in 11 straight appearances, averaging 16.3 points on 50.8% shooting from the field, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.0 triples in 27.9 minutes covering this span. |

Sun Mar 24 | 15:09 | Norman Powell Back On Sunday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (leg) will play on Sunday against Philly. He's been out for over a week because of a leg contusion. But the Clippers will get the Sixth Man of the Year frontrunner back versus the visiting Sixers. There's no mention of a minutes restriction for Powell, so he can be utilized with confidence in all fantasy formats. However, his return should mean less work for Amir Coffey and Brandon Boston Jr. |

Fri Mar 22 | 21:25 | Norman Powell Out Friday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) will miss Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell has missed the last two games, and his lower leg is still bothering him. With Powell out, the Clippers could turn to Amir Coffey, Bones Hyland, Brandon Boston, and Jordan Miller. Terance Mann (shoulder) will also be back in the lineup after missing one game due to a right shoulder strain. |

Thu Mar 21 | 22:43 | Norman Powell Questionable Friday Against Portland |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell has missed the last two games, with his lower leg injury still impacting him. Positive signs feature Powell traveling with the team and taking part in shootaround. However, the Clippers can easily play it safe against a weaker team, especially since their only relevant success matters in the playoffs this season. Terance Mann, also getting the questionable tag, will see role players like Amir Coffey, Bones Hyland, P.J. Tucker, and Brandon Boston Jr. slated for more minutes if Powell misses another game. |

Wed Mar 20 | 20:53 | Norman Powell Absent On Wednesday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) won't play on Wednesday night against Portland. He's battling a left leg contusion, so he's likely day-to-day. But since Powell is in the running to win the Sixth Man of the Year award, the Clippers will be without their top bench option. Terance Mann (shoulder) is also out versus the Trail Blazers, meaning minutes will be up for grabs. While Bones Hyland and possibly P.J. Tucker are in line to get extra work, Amir Coffey will enter the starting lineup. Coffey has averaged 11.3 points in 10 appearances with the first five this season, making him an ideal DFS value option. |

Wed Mar 20 | 16:03 | Norman Powell, Terance Mann Both At Shootaround |
Los Angeles Clippers guards Norman Powell (shin) and Terance Mann (shoulder) were both at shootaround on Wednesday morning. Mann said he is not concerned about his strained right shoulder following Sunday's dismal home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, but he remains officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell is dealing with a left lower leg contusion after missing Sunday's defeat but is trending in the right direction for a revenge game against Portland. The 30-year-old sharpshooting swingman has played a more pronounced role as L.A.'s sixth man with Russell Westbrook (hand) out, hovering around fantasy's top 150 over his last eight games on averages of 16.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers, and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes. Wednesday's matchup is a soft one against a Blazers squad that ranks 26th in opponent field-goal percentage (49.2%). |

Wed Mar 20 | 10:02 | Norman Powell Could Miss Another Game On Wednesday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. A left lower leg contusion took him out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and Powell could be out for a second consecutive game. With Powell missing, Amir Coffey saw the most minutes off the Clippers bench on Sunday and should get extra action again on Wednesday, especially if Terance Mann (shoulder) also sits out the contest. |

Sun Mar 17 | 21:03 | Norman Powell Out Sunday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (leg) is out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 30-year-old's injury occurred in Friday's 112-104 loss to New Orleans. Powell had missed just one game this season before being announced as unavailable before Sunday's tilt. If the former Toronto Raptors guard should miss an extended period of time, Amir Coffey and Brandon Boston could see an uptick in minutes in the Clippers rotation. |

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 30-year-old's injury occurred in Friday's 112-104 loss to New Orleans. Powell collected 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one assist, and one steal in 26 minutes on the court. Should Powell be unable to play, Amir Coffey and Bones Hyland will see an uptick in backcourt minutes. |

Sun Feb 25 | 20:58 | Norman Powell Available Versus Sacramento |
Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (ankle) will suit up on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. The 30-year-old was questionable because of a sprained ankle. Fortunately, the injury only cost him a game. With Paul George (knee) out, Powell should see a bump in fantasy production on Sunday night, no matter his role. |

Fri Nov 24 2023 | 11:22 | Norman Powell Considered Questionable Against Pelicans |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (groin) has been listed as questionable on the official injury report due to right groin soreness on Friday. The veteran guard hasn't had to miss a game yet this season, but it seems that streak could be in jeopardy since groin strains often take some time to fully heal. If he has to be sidelined in this contest, Russell Westbrook and Amir Coffey will likely see the biggest boosts off of the bench. |

Tue Oct 31 2023 | 21:20 | Norman Powell To Suit Up On Tuesday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (foot) has been cleared to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was previously listed as questionable due to a foot issue. However, it appears that was only a minor issue and Powell should play without limitations in this game. Powell will likely see an increased usage with fellow guard Terance Mann (ankle) ruled out. However, Powell is expected to lose value and playing time once James Harden is cleared to play. |

Tue Oct 31 2023 | 10:02 | Norman Powell Carries A Questionable Tag |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (foot) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Orlando. The 30-year-old has played well at the start of the season but could now need some time off to shake off left foot soreness. Powell has averaged 13.7 points off the Clippers bench, shooting over 50 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from downtown. Bones Hyland should cover a good amount of Powell's minutes if he can't play. The entire bench mob, or what's left of it, could end up playing a significant role in the contest, as the Clippers might be shorthanded for Tuesday's encounter following the James Harden trade. |

Thu Oct 12 2023 | 16:03 | Norman Powell Not Ready To Practice |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (groin) won't participate in Thursday's practice session. Powell did not suit up for Tuesday's preseason contest versus the Utah Jazz with a right groin strain, but head coach Tyronn Lue says he's getting better. The 30-year-old swingman had a dreadful go of it from the field (0-for-7) during 16 minutes of play in Sunday's opener but hit 6-of-7 free-throw attempts. As LA's likely sixth man, Powell is shaping up to be a late-round points and threes specialist with considerable contingency upside behind the oft-injured Kawhi Leonard and even Paul George, for that matter. Terance Mann, Bones Hyland, and Amir Coffey should take on expanded roles if Powell misses Tuesday's exhibition with the Denver Nuggets. |

Wed Jul 5 2023 | 10:03 | Norman Powell's Name Involved In Trade Talks |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell might find himself in a different uniform in 2023-24. According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Powell's name has "come up" in trade talks. Weiss mentions it specifically in reference to a potential trade for Boston's Malcolm Brogdon. Powell has been a key contributor for the Clippers, averaging 17.0 points off the bench last season, but if the team has a chance to bring in James Harden and has to depart with Powell in that case, then the Clippers likely won't hesitate to make the move. Weiss notes that the Clippers are the favorites to land Harden. |

Fri Apr 21 2023 | 10:46 | Norman Powell Scores 42 Points In Spot Start |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell entered the starting five and didn't disappoint on the offensive end of the floor. During the five-point loss at home, Powell ended the game with 42 points, five rebounds, three assists, and one block while shooting 15-for-23 from the floor and 7-for-12 from deep. The offense wasn't the issue in this contest as the team put up 124 points, but Kawhi Leonard's defense was sorely missed. If Powell has to start any more games, he should be a confident DFS play since the Suns didn't put up much of a defensive fight against him either. |

Wed Mar 29 2023 | 18:44 | Norman Powell Will Make His Return Wednesday |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (shoulder) will play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Powell has been out since March 2nd with a shoulder injury but will make his long awaited return on Wednesday.

Powell has not played since March 2nd, but appears to be nearing a return. The Clippers will likely have a big role set up for Powell once he returns with Paul George (knee) out. If Powell is cleared to play, Terance Mann and Eric Gordon should see less minutes. |

Thu Mar 23 2023 | 14:29 | Norman Powell Misses A Ninth Consecutive Game |
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (shoulder) will miss a ninth straight game Thursday against the Thunder. He was initially ruled out for a week with left shoulder subluxation, but it's now been three weeks since the last time he hit the court. The Clippers could really use Powell right now after Paul George (knee) went down versus OKC a couple of nights ago. The 29-year-old has played a big role off the bench, averaging the third-most points on the team (16.6). Eric Gordon and Terance Mann are getting extra burn with Powell out. The team is set to re-evaluate his status again on Sunday. |

Fri Mar 10 2023 | 15:00 | Norman Powell To Miss Another Week |
Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (shoulder) is scheduled to be re-evaluated in one week. The 29-year-old has already missed one week of action, but it appears Powell will miss at least one more week. In the meantime, Terance Mann and Eric Gordon should see increased roles and scoring opportunities. Both have some streaming appeal, but Mann is the more consistent option between the two guards. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire to see if either player is available. Both of them should have increased value until Powell can get back on the court. |
