Kris Dunn News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Role threatened by Wagler Dunn could be at risk of handling a reserve role in 2026-27 due to the selection of Keaton Wagler in Tuesday's draft.

Impact Dunn might be a loser from a fantasy perspective of the Clippers adding Wagler, who would likely supplant Dunn from the first unit at shooting guard if he wins a starting job this offseason. The defensive-minded Dunn was essentially a full-time starter last regular season, making 68 starts over 82 games, so his status as the incumbent veteran could also work in his favor if Wagler struggles in the Summer League or during training camp.

Fares well in loss Dunn contributed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors.

Impact With Los Angeles' season coming to an end, Dunn will be able to hold his head high. He appeared in all 82 regular-season games with 68 starts, posting averages of 7.3 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per contest.

Starting versus Kings Dunn will start in Sunday's game against Sacramento, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Dunn will make his first start since the 105-99 loss to the Pelicans on March 19. In 63 starts throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 32-year-old has averaged 7.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.1 blocks and 1.6 steals across 28.1 minutes.

Another two-steal performance Dunn produced two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 114-113 victory over Indiana.

Impact Dun continues to produce on the defensive end, having now recorded at least two steals in five straight games. However, the rest of his numbers have been less than ideal, averaging just 4.2 points and 3.2 assists per game during that span. As has been the case for the majority of his career, Dunn should be considered nothing more than a steals specialist.

Impact Dunn was initially announced with the starters Monday, but the Clippers have since released an updated lineup, showing Nicolas Batum will draw the start in place of John Collins (ankle). Dunn has seen plenty of run as a reserve lately, as he logged 26 minutes Wednesday against New Orleans and 32 minutes Saturday in Dallas.

Limited output in win Dunn contributed five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 126-118 win over New York.

Impact This was a modest line for Dunn, but his offense usually comes and goes. Overall this season, Dunn ranks just outside the top 150 in nine-category formats with 7.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Posts 16 points in victory Dunn totaled 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 114-101 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Dunn's time as a viable fantasy contributor may be running out soon, as Darius Garland returned to action and will be the starter at point guard once he reaches 100 percent. Fantasy managers who depend on Dunn's production will need to pivot quickly, as productive nights from Dunn could be limited to upcoming back-to-backs.

Off injury report Dunn (head) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Dunn departed Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to an apparent head injury and did not return, but he's good to go Monday. The veteran guard has tallied at least one steal and four assists in six of his last seven outings and remains a strong streaming option for swipes and dimes.

Doesn't return Sunday Dunn left Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to an apparent head injury and did not return.

Impact Dunn exited the game for the locker room in the fourth quarter after appearing to get hit in the head by an inadvertent elbow, and did not return. It should be noted that the game was all but over when Dunn exited and head coach Tyronn Lue stated postgame that Dunn was "good" following the injury, so it does not appear to be a concern going forward.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room Sunday Dunn went back to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to an apparent head injury, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Dunn appeared to get hit with an inadvertent elbow from Pelicans player Karlo Matkovic before heading back to the locker room, grabbing at his head and neck area. Considering time and score, it would be surprising if Dunn returns to the game, leaving extra minutes for Bennedict Mathurin.
