Clippers' Center Diagnosed with Left MCL sprain

Mason Plumlee's Knee Injury: Clippers Face a Setback

In a recent development, the LA Clippers are dealing with a knee strain affecting their backup center, Mason Plumlee. Our exclusive report, brought to you by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, provides the latest update on this unfortunate injury.


While Plumlee is set to miss at least the next two games during their ongoing road trip, there's a glimmer of hope considering the initial severity of the injury.


The Injury Incident

Plumlee's knee injury transpired during a game against the New York Knicks when he went down after a collision with Julius Randle. The incident occurred near the half-court during the Knicks' 111-97 victory over the Clippers. Plumlee had to leave the game with 4 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter.

Impact on the Clippers

Mason Plumlee is a highly regarded reserve player for the Clippers, known for his prowess in rebounding and playmaking. This season, he has been contributing an average of 5.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in just 17 minutes per game.

Stepping Up in Plumlee's Absence

With Plumlee temporarily sidelined, P.J. Tucker, who recently joined the Clippers as part of the James Harden trade, is expected to take on additional minutes coming off the bench. In addition to Tucker, the Clippers are also hopeful for a return from versatile wingman Terance Mann. Mann has been out this season due to a sprained left ankle, but there's a chance he may be available for the upcoming game against Brooklyn on Wednesday.
