Mann is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
The Clippers will have all their regulars back in the starting lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back set, so Mann will return to the bench. Mann is averaging 7.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game across 18 outings off the bench this season.

Rotowire
Mann will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
The starting lineup for the Clippers will look much different Wednesday against the defending NBA champion Celtics, with Mann being one of the players thrust into the first unit. In 11 games as a starter for Los Angeles this season, he is averaging 5.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 37.5 percent from the floor and 20 percent from beyond the arc.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Mann (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Exits early with sore calf
Rotowire
Mann has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Nets due to left calf soreness, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. He logged five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across eight minutes before exiting.
Mann was ruled out shortly after halftime. With the Clippers on the first night of a back-to-back set and holding a big lead over the Nets, the team may have chosen to exercise some caution in holding Mann out for the rest of the contest. If Mann is able to move past the calf issue in time for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, he could move into a larger role with Kawhi Leonard expected to rest for that contest.
Coach Tyronn Lue said pregame that Mann will be part of the rotation for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Lue has been experimenting with the back end of the Clippers' rotation lately, and part of those experiments included making Mann a healthy scratch Monday. He'll rejoin the rotation Wednesday, while Kevin Porter will be a healthy scratch. In his last three appearances before Monday's game, Mann averaged 6.0 points and 1.0 steals across 12.7 minutes.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Can't miss in return
Rotowire
Mann (finger) tallied 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 16 minutes in Saturday's 131-105 win over the Hawks.
Though the season debut of Kawhi Leonard (knee) was the main focus, the Clippers got another key rotation piece back from a long-term absence in the form of Mann, who had missed the previous 11 games after requiring surgery to repair a fractured middle finger on his left hand. Mann displayed a deft shooting touch in his return, but the performance probably won't earn him a dramatic increase in playing time while the Clippers are now back to full strength. His fantasy utility will likely remain limited to deeper leagues.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Available for Saturday
Rotowire
Mann (finger) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Hawks, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Mann will see an 11-game absence end following surgery on his left finger. The 28-year-old started the first 11 games of the season for the Clippers, but he's come off the bench in 12 straight appearances, so Los Angeles could opt to ease Mann back into action and keep Kris Dunn in the starting lineup against Atlanta.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Still out
Rotowire
Mann (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Mann hasn't played since undergoing surgery on the middle finger of his left hand at the beginning of December. He was given a three-week return timeline, but the team hasn't released another report. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Oklahoma City, but until he returns to practice, he can be considered doubtful for future contests.

Clippers' Terance Mann: Unavailable Wednesday
Rotowire
Mann (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Mann's absence is unsurprising after exiting Tuesday's win over Portland with a fractured middle finger. With Norman Powell (hamstring) also out, Kris Dunn could be busy Wednesday, while Amir Coffey and Jordan Miller are candidates for enlarged workloads as well.
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 shouldn't be expected to play later that night when the Clippers face the Timberwolves. If Mann is sidelined for Wednesday and any length of time beyond that, Amir Coffey and Jordan Miller will be candidates to see increased 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.
