Yanic Konan Niederhauser Adds 27 Pounds This Summer
Los Angeles Clippers center Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) says he has put on 27 pounds this summer, SI's Joey Linn reports. The 2025 first-rounder also discussed his rehab progress, his fit alongside Keaton Wagler, and an eventual bid for the starting center job. Niederhauser's rookie season ended in March, when a Lisfranc injury in his right foot required surgery, and he underwent a follow-up procedure this offseason. He averaged 4.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 10.3 minutes across 41 games, showing enough burst as a rim-runner to make him worth tracking. Brook Lopez is penciled in ahead of him at 38, so the runway exists. Whether a foot that has needed two procedures holds up under an extra 27 pounds is the question that decides his season.
