Double-doubles in preseason win
Niederhauser notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 26 minutes in Friday's 106-103 preseason win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Niederhauser finished as the Clippers' third-leading scorer and was one of four Los Angeles players to reach double figures. The rookie big man also grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds. The No. 30 overall pick in the 2025 Draft is expected to provide center depth for the club in 2025-26, though he could see increased playing time if Ivica Zubac or Brook Lopez (rest) misses time.

Available for Thursday
Niederhauser (back) is set to be available for Thursday's preseason opener against the Guangzhou Loong Lions, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Niederhauser sat out the end of the Las Vegas Summer League with a back injury, but he's healthy for the beginning of exhibition play. That said, the rookie first-rounder would likely need one of Ivica Zubac or Brook Lopez to go down with an injury in order to realistically carve out a meaningful role from the second unit during his first season.
Jul 20, 2025
Out Sunday
Niederhauser won't play in the team's Summer League finale Sunday against the Grizzlies, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS

Won't suit up Thursday
Niederhauser (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's Summer League game against the Nuggets, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Selected No. 30 by Los Angeles
Niederhauser was selected by the Clippers with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
Niederhauser flew under the radar on a struggling Penn State team in 2024-25 but still put together a solid season, averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks while shooting 61.1 percent over 29 games. His offensive game is still a work in progress, but his blend of size and athleticism gives him real potential as a rim protector. With Ivica Zubac entrenched as the starting center, the Clippers can afford to bring Niederhauser along gradually.
