Powell (back) won't play Wednesday against Boston, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Powell will be sidelined for the first time since Dec. 4, as he was unable to shake this questionable tag. It's possible, however, that the Clippers are resting him so that he can be ready for Thursday's game against the Wizards. With Kris Dunn (knee) also out, Terance Mann, Kevin Porter, Amir Coffey and Bones Hyland could all receive increased playing time Wednesday.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Team-leading 27 points in loss
Rotowire
Powell (back) chipped in a team-high 27 points (9-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Bulls.
Powell was able to fight off a back injury and suit up for the Clippers on Monday, scoring a team-high 27 points while attempting his most field goals since Dec. 28 in the absence of the resting Kawhi Leonard. Although Powell has worked as Los Angeles' clear-cut top-scoring option for most of the season, it remains to be seen how his role might be affected once Leonard can take on a full workload. Even if a slight dip in usage is eventually coming, Powell should remain a strong source of points, threes and steals from a fantasy perspective.

Rotowire
Powell (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Powell was one of several starters who carried a questionable tag for Sunday's matchup, but the veteran will be available and should operate as one of the Clippers' go-to options on offense. He's having a career-best season with averages of 23.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game across 33 starts in 2024-25.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Powell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers with lower back soreness, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.
The Clippers submitted a lengthy injury report for Sunday, as James Harden (illness), Ivica Zubac (back) and Kris Dunn (knee) are also questionable. Sunday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers may exercise caution in one of these games. If Powell ends up sitting, guys like Kevin Porter, Amir Coffey and Terance Mann could see extended minutes.

Powell accumulated 29 points (12-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 109-98 victory over Miami.
Kawhi Leonard had a rough outing Monday, but Powell stepped up and carried the Clippers to victory with an efficient shooting display.

Powell is having a career-best season from a scoring perspective, and while it's too early to determine whether Leonard's return will impact his numbers, it seems the regression won't be as heavy as initially expected.

Powell reached the 29-point mark for the second game in a row, and the veteran forward remains an excellent fantasy option as long as he holds down a starting role, which could very well be the case even when Kawhi Leonard (knee) returns to the hardwood -- something that could happen as soon as next week.
