Clippers' Kris Dunn: Minor role in preseason
Dunn recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one steal and one block in six minutes off the bench during Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over Golden State.
Dunn saw only six minutes while Darius Garland handled the bulk of the point-guard duties with the first unit. However, Max Strus exited with an injury after starting at shooting guard, potentially opening additional opportunities for Dunn as the Clippers work through several early-season injuries.

Clippers' Keaton Wagler: Clutch despite poor shooting
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' Darius Garland: Perfect from field
Garland recorded 15 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six assists and three rebounds in 15 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors.
Garland was extremely efficient in his brief appearance, accounting for 15 points on only four field-goal attempts while committing just one turnover. The veteran guard is coming off a 2025-26 regular season in which he averaged 18.8 points and 6.7 assists per game, and he remains firmly entrenched as one of the Clippers' primary offensive initiators.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Swats two shots Sunday
Jackson finished with four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors.
Jackson started over Brook Lopez and was limited to the first half as planned. The 24-year-old is competing with Lopez for the starting center job and has spent time with the first unit during training camp, making that battle worth monitoring throughout the preseason.

Clippers' Rui Hachimura: Nets 21 points in 15 minutes
Hachimura racked up 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 15 minutes in Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors.
Hachimura had the hot hand early, and despite logging just 15 minutes, his 21 points were a game-high. He's making a strong case to open the year as a starter with Brandon Ingram (Achilles) sidelined, and he could be a solid source of points and triples this season.

Clippers' Max Strus: Won't return Sunday
Strus will not return to Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to a right foot injury, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Strus appeared to tweak his foot while making a cut in the first quarter. Keaton Wagler figures to see more playing time with Strus out.

Clippers' Max Strus: Heads to locker room Sunday
Strus exited Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to an apparent right ankle injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Strus exited in the first quarter straight to the locker room, seemingly favoring his right foot or ankle. Keaton Wagler could see some extra run if Strus is unable to return.

Clippers' Max Strus: Starting Sunday
Strus is in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason opener against the Warriors, but he will only be available for the first half of play, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Strus has the edge to start over Keaton Wagler to begin the season, as he has chemistry with Darius Garland from their time together in Cleveland. With Brandon Ingram (Achilles) and Bradley Beal (knee) banged up, Strus should see an expanded role with the Clippers.

Clippers' Brook Lopez: Not starting preseason opener
Lopez won't start Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
The veteran big man will come off the bench in favor of Isaiah Jackson. Lopez and Jackson are expected to compete for the starting center role ahead of the regular season, though it's worth noting that Jackson has spent time working with the first unit in training camp.

Clippers' Rui Hachimura: Starting Sunday
Hachimura will start in Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, but he will be limited to the first half of play, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Joining Hachimura in the first unit for Sunday's exhibition will be Darius Garland, Max Strus, Derrick Jones and Isaiah Jackson. Brandon Ingram (Achilles) won't be ready for opening night, so Hachimura could begin the season as a starter.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Starting preseason opener
Jackson will start Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, though he'll only play the first half, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Jackson will get the starting nod over Brook Lopez, with the former joining Darius Garland, Max Strus, Rui Hachimura and Derrick Jones in the first unit. Over 17 regular-season appearances off the bench with the Clippers last season, Jackson averaged 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks across 15.8 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Will be limited in preseason opener
Jones will only suit up for the first half of Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Jones will join Darius Garland, Max Strus, Rui Hachimura and Isaiah Jackson in the first unit, though none of them will play in the second half. Jones started 45 of his 50 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, averaging 10.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest on the campaign.

Clippers' Darius Garland: Starting Sunday
Garland will start in Sunday's preseason opener against the Warriors, but he will only play the first half of the game, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Garland could be headed for a big year as the main man in Los Angeles, and he'll be looking to bounce back after being limited to just 33 games last season. He's healthy and expected to have the offense run through him.

Clippers' Brook Lopez: Not guaranteed starting role to begin season
Lopez is not guaranteed the Clippers' starting center role, as Isaiah Jackson has been working with the first team during training camp, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Lopez started 40 of his 75 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, averaging 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 blocks across 21.8 minutes per game on the campaign. The 38-year-old will face plenty of competition for minutes throughout the season, as Jackson could take Lopez's spot in the starting five. Additionally, Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) could fight for minutes once he's cleared to return.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Could begin season in starting role
Jackson has been working with the first team in training camp and said, "I think I'm going to be in the starting role," Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson was traded from Indiana to Los Angeles last February and averaged 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks across 15.8 minutes per game in 17 regular-season appearances off the bench with the Clippers last season. Head coach Ty Lue may still opt to start veteran big man Brook Lopez to begin the regular season, so Jackson will look to impress during the preseason. He'll face competition for minutes from Lopez and Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot), who will miss time to begin the year.

Clippers' Kobe Sanders: Ruled out for Sunday
Sanders won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to a left hip impingement, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
It's unclear when Sanders began dealing with the hip issue, though it'll keep him out of the Clippers' preseason opener. He will also be limited to individual work during Saturday's practice, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com. Sanders' next opportunity to suit up during the preseason will come next Saturday against the Raptors.

Clippers' Keaton Wagler: Poised to handle ball often
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.

Clippers' Darius Garland: Coach impressed by his offseason
Head coach Ty Lue has been very impressed with Garland's offseason, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com.
Lue also notes he'll push Garland when needed, so it sounds like the Clippers are planning to give the star guard all the usage he can handle amid Brandon Ingram's (Achilles) absence. Provided he stays healthy after playing a career-low 45 regular-season games last year, Garland has the upside for a career campaign with a rebuilding Los Angeles team.

Clippers' Gradey Dick: Could benefit from Ingram injury
Dick could see increased opportunities to begin the season while Brandon Ingram recovers from a partially torn Achilles and right heel surgery.
Dick arrived in Los Angeles alongside Ingram in the Kawhi Leonard trade and will compete for minutes on a Clippers team currently thin on the wing. Ingram's absence gives Dick an opportunity to earn a consistent rotation role, though he'll still face competition for playing time.

Clippers' Kobe Sanders: Opportunity increases
Sanders could have a clearer path to playing time early in the season with Brandon Ingram unavailable for the opener due to his recovery from a partially torn Achilles and right heel surgery
Los Angeles is already dealing with several injuries on the wing, and Sanders is expected to compete for meaningful minutes off the bench. Ingram's absence should give Sanders an opportunity to establish himself in the Clippers' rotation during the opening portion of the campaign. During the 2025-26 regular season, Sanders averaged 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
