Clippers' John Collins: Makes quick stop in locker room
Rotowire
Collins went to the locker room during the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to an undisclosed injury, but he returned for the start of the fourth, Adam Ausland of Fox Sports Radio reports.
Ausland notes that Collins appeared to suffer the injury while competing with Brook Lopez for a rebound. Collins checked out of the game with 6:23 remaining in the third period to get evaluated in the locker room. He would later emerge from the tunnel in time to start the final period of play.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Without timetable for return
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle), who has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Portland, will be evaluated over the next several days before the Clippers determine a timetable for his return, Janis Carr of The Orange County Register reports.
Jackson will miss a second consecutive contest Tuesday after spraining his right ankle in Friday's win over Indiana. The big man can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Spurs until the Clippers offer an update on his status. With Jackson sidelined, John Collins will likely continue to see increased minutes.
Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Remains out against Portland
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Portland, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Jackson sprained his right ankle in Friday's 114-113 win over the Indiana Pacers and was subsequently ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee. Without him, the Clippers may continue to rely on John Collins and Nicolas Batum to back up Brook Lopez in the middle.

Clippers' Brook Lopez: Ties season high with four steals
Rotowire
Lopez ended Sunday's 127-113 win over the Bucks with eight points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, four steals, two blocks and one assist in 25 minutes.
With Ivica Zubac now in Indiana, Lopez continues to provide some low-end fantasy appeal since taking over as the Clippers' starting center in early February. Lopez has averaged 12.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.6 minutes per contest in his last seven outings while shooting 50 percent from the floor and 41.9 percent from downtown.

Clippers' John Collins: Breaks out with 22 points
Rotowire
Collins accumulated 22 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 win over Milwaukee.
Sunday marked a breakout performance for Collins, who logged his most minutes and points since returning from a recent seven-game absence with a neck strain. The playing time is particularly a sign the power forward is cleared of whatever restrictions the Clippers had in place for Collins of late -- he last played at least 30 minutes back in February.

Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Puts up team-high 28 points
Rotowire
Mathurin closed Sunday's 127-113 victory over Milwaukee with 28 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 13-14 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes.
Despite coming off the bench, Mathurin led the team in scoring Sunday and got to the free-throw line with ease. The swingman is thriving as the Clippers' sixth man, averaging 23.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 30.3 minutes per game across his last eight appearances.
Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Jackson will miss Sunday's game after spraining his right ankle during Friday's win in Indiana. With Jackson sitting out, starting center Brook Lopez could have a higher minutes floor, and backup big man Nicolas Batum may be in store for a heightened role in the rotation.
Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Jackson departed Friday's game with a right ankle injury that's been officially labeled a sprain. If the big man can't play Sunday, Nicolas Batum would see an uptick in playing time, while John Collins could see more action at the center spot.
Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Nets 28 points with three swipes
Rotowire
Leonard had 28 points (13-26 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 114-113 victory over Indiana.
Leonard racked up the defensive stats, didn't commit a single turnover and finished with a plus-17 differential in the one-point win. The 34-year-old vet is on track to finish the season with career highs in points (28.3) and triples (2.6), and he ranks in the top five in steals (2.0) per game.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Another two-steal performance
Rotowire
Dunn produced two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 114-113 victory over Indiana.
Dun continues to produce on the defensive end, having now recorded at least two steals in five straight games. However, the rest of his numbers have been less than ideal, averaging just 4.2 points and 3.2 assists per game during that span. As has been the case for the majority of his career, Dunn should be considered nothing more than a steals specialist.

Clippers' John Collins: Limited again in victory
Rotowire
Collins logged five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 114-113 victory over Indiana.
Despite continuing to start, Collins has seen his role reduced of late, having logged more than 25 minutes only twice in his past seven appearances. During that time, he has barely been a top-200 player, averaging 10.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 24.1 minutes per game. Although he does possess the upside to be a top-70 player, managers are well within their rights to move on from him, given his current role.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Leaves early with ankle injury
Rotowire
Jackson won't return to Friday's game against Indiana due to a right ankle injury, Lauren Rosen of FanDuel Sports Network SoCal reports. He finished with four points (2-2 FG, 0-2 FT) and four rebounds across 14 minutes.
After exiting with 8:49 remaining in the fourth quarter to get his ankle evaluated, Jackson ended up being shut down for the remainder of the night. The Clippers should have another update regarding the severity of Jackson's injury after the game, but for now, his availability for Sunday's game in Milwaukee is up in the air.
