Clippers Rookie Yanic Niederhäuser Out for Season with Lisfranc Injury

Clippers Rookie Yanic-Konan is Out for the rest of Season with Lisfranc Injury

The 22-year-old Swiss center Yanic-Konan Niederhäuser (drafted 30th out of Penn State), suffered a Lisfranc injury in his right foot during Wednesday's 130-107 win over the Pacers. He needs surgery and will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season. Yanic had a strong recent stretch, including: double-digit scoring over his last 5 games.

Fans and insiders lamented the tough timing for the playoff-chasing Clippers, but Niederhäuser stayed positive on TikTok live, eyeing a strong return next year.

Teammates and media sent speedy-recovery wishes, drawing parallels to Chet Holmgren's successful comeback from a similar issue. GET WELL SOON, YANIC-KONAN!!!
