Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Still out with hand injury
Rotowire
Diabate (hand) was inactive Thursday for the G League Ontario Clippers' 113-102 win over the G League Ignite.
Diabate didn't play in any of Ontario's final six games of the G League season while he continues to recover from a hand injury. Before sustaining the injury, Diabate appeared in 19 games for Ontario and averaged 15.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.2 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest while shooting 54.6 percent from the field. Since he's a two-way player, Diabate's 2023-24 season isn't over, as he'll still have a chance to see some minutes at the NBA level with the Clippers over the final two weeks of the regular season if he's able to overcome the hand injury.

Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Gets limited run Friday
Rotowire
Diabate played four minutes and finished two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one block in Friday's 119-106 loss to the Bucks.
Diabate has now appeared in two straight games for the Clippers, but only because L.A. was down players due to the roster churn ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. His appearance Friday didn't come until the outcome was already well decided, and the rookie out of Michigan is unlikely to factor into head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation when the Clippers are presumably back to full strength for Tuesday's game against the Warriors. Expect Diabate to head to the G League's Ontario Clippers before long.
