Mann sustained a fractured middle finger on his left hand in Tuesday's 127-105 win over Portland, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. He ended the game with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one block across 13 minutes.
Mann underwent imaging that revealed a fractured finger on his non-shooting hand after exiting the game with 2:01 remaining in the third quarter. The 28-year-old guard will be re-evaluated Wednesday, though he's at risk of missing the second leg of the back-to-back set in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, at a minimum. If Mann is sidelined, Amir Coffey and Jordan Miller are candidates to see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Won't return Tuesday
Rotowire
Mann exited Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers with 2:01 remaining in the third quarter due to a left finger injury and will not return, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. He'll finish the game with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one block across 13 minutes.
Despite previous reports that Mann injured his wrist, the guard will not return due to a finger injury. The 28-year-old will likely undergo imaging on the finger, and he should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves. With Mann sidelined, Amir Coffey is expected to pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Exits to locker room Tuesday
Rotowire
Mann exited Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers with 2:01 remaining in the third quarter due to an apparent wrist injury, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Mann chipped in five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and a block across 13 minutes before retreating to the locker room due to the wrist injury. If the 28-year-old is unable to return, Amir Coffey will likely pick up the slack off the bench the rest of the way.
Mann ended with 15 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 win over the Nuggets.
Mann made the most of his 25 minutes off the bench and was one of the Clippers' best players in this game, missing just one of his shots from the field en route to his best scoring mark of the season. Mann has scored in double digits in three of his last five games, but his fantasy upside will remain capped as long as he continues to come off the bench for the Clippers.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Hands out six assists
Rotowire
Mann finished Monday's 102-99 victory over Golden State with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 23 minutes.
Mann recorded a season-high six assists in what was one of his best performances of the season. He's been far from a reliable fantasy option, however, as he's currently outside the top-200 producers in nine-category formats with averages of 5.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Stands out off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Mann registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 111-103 loss to the Rockets.
The Clippers were limited to just 103 total points and no player reached the 20-point mark in this loss, but it's worth noting that Mann outscored every starter not named James Harden despite playing only 23 minutes. This was Mann's first appearance off the bench in 2024-25, and it wouldn't be surprising if he recovers his starting role in the near future.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Demoted from starting lineup
Rotowire
Mann will be replaced by Kris Dunn in Wednesday starting lineup against Houston, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Mann has posted a lowly 37.5/20.0/69.2 percent shooting slash on 5.1 shots and 22.7 minutes per game across 11 contests this season -- all of which have been starts. Meanwhile, Dunn is connecting on 44.8 percent of 2.6 threes per game, and while he cannot consistently be counted on as a creator, he grades as a stout defender and is an active two-way rebounder.

Rotowire
Mann dropped five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist across 19 minutes in Monday's 113-104 win over the Spurs.
While Mann has started in every game this season, he played less minutes than Nicolas Batum, Kris Dunn and Amir Coffey on Monday, which may be a potential concern moving forward. Mann is averaging 5.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.6 steals over 22.9 minutes this season.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Struggles in win
Rotowire
Mann accumulated two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 victory over the Warriors.
It's been a very quiet start to the campaign for Mann. Through three games, he's playing just 22.0 minutes per night with averages of 3.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists while hitting 33.3 percent from the field. Considering the Clippers signed him to a three-year, $47 million extension over the offseason, they are likely to be patient with the wing.
Mann will move into the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Nets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Mann came off the bench Saturday against the Warriors to open the preseason, but he'll replace Kris Dunn this time around. Mann played 10 minutes against the Warriors, scoring two points with three rebounds.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Inks three-year extension
Rotowire
The Clippers signed Mann to a three-year, $47 million contract extension Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Mann has spent the first five years of career with the Clippers and is now set to remain with the franchise at least through 2027-28. The 27-year-old guard averaged 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 25.0 minutes across 75 regular-season appearances last season. Mann is expected to start alongside James Harden in the Clippers' backcourt during the 2024-25 campaign.
Mann (leg) will be available for Friday's Game 6 against the Mavericks, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Mann was carrying a questionable tag earlier in the day, but he made it through shootaround and warmups without any setbacks. Mann is not expected to have any restrictions with the Clippers facing an elimination game.
Mann (leg) was seen at shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 6 against the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Mann is officially deemed questionable for Friday's contest due to a right lower leg contusion. However, Mann's presence at shootaround is a good sign he will suit up for the Clippers' win-or-go-home playoff game.
