• Clippers' Keaton Wagler: Sees 26 minutes off bench

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Wagler finished Sunday's 108-101 loss to Oklahoma City with 11 points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes. Wagler continued to receive substantial playing time off the bench, reaching double figures for the third consecutive game to begin his NBA career. The rookie struggled with his shooting and committed four turnovers, but his perfect performance at the charity stripe and contributions as a rebounder and facilitator were encouraging. His early involvement in the rotation makes him worth monitoring in deeper fantasy leagues.

• Clippers' Keaton Wagler: Not starting Wednesday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Wagler is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Kings, Farbod Esnaashari of SI.com reports. Wagler will come off the bench to begin his NBA career, but he should still see quality minutes with Max Strus (foot) and Bradley Beal (knee) out. The Clippers selected him with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, so he should be a big part of their plans this season.

• Clippers' Keaton Wagler: Still operating off bench

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Wagler recorded nine points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one rebound in 23 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 preseason loss to the Raptors. Even with Max Strus (foot), Brandon Ingram (Achilles) and Bradley Beal (knee) sidelined, Wagler is still coming off the bench during the preseason. The 2026 No. 5 overall pick has shown flashes in a Clippers uniform, but consistency remains his biggest flaw ahead of his rookie season.

• Clippers' Keaton Wagler: Clutch despite poor shooting

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Wagler totaled 15 points (3-15 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors. Wagler struggled badly from beyond the arc in his preseason debut, but the No. 5 overall pick still filled the stat sheet and knocked down the go-ahead jumper with 14 seconds remaining. The rookie's team-high 30 minutes are encouraging, though he'll face plenty of competition for touches in a veteran-heavy Clippers rotation.

• Clippers' Keaton Wagler: Poised to handle ball often

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Ty Lue said Wednesday the Clippers are going to give Wagler a lot of on-ball opportunities, per Joey Linn of SI.com. With Brandon Ingram (Achilles) sidelined to begin the season, Los Angeles is already short on proven playmakers beyond Darius Garland. Bradley Beal (knee) appears ticketed for a reserve role, meaning Wagler has a chance to be the team's second scoring option behind Garland while Ingram is sidelined and carries plenty of upside in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.
