Clippers' Kris Dunn: Racks up five steals and two swats
Rotowire
Dunn tallied 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, five steals, two blocks and two turnovers across 33 minutes in Sunday's 108-101 loss to the Thunder.
Dunn cracked double digits in scoring for the first time this season, and he did so with remarkable efficiency, missing just two shots in 33 minutes of floor time. The scoring will come and go with Dunn, but as long as he's starting in Los Angeles, he should do enough with the assists and defensive stats to warrant a roster spot in fantasy leagues.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Busy on defense against Sacramento
Rotowire
Dunn logged seven points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 victory over the Kings.
Getting the start in the backcourt due to Bradley Beal (knee) being on the shelf, Dunn mainly left the scoring to Darius Garland while the former led the Clippers in assists and made a strong impact on defense. Dunn started 68 of 82 regular-season games last season and averaged a modest 7.3 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 boards, 1.6 steals and 1.0 threes in 27.2 minutes, and his role doesn't seem likely to change much once the backcourt gets healthier.

After appearing in each of the Clippers' first two preseason games, Dunn will be sidelined Wednesday for rest purposes.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Minor role in preseason
Rotowire
Dunn recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one steal and one block in six minutes off the bench during Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over Golden State.
Dunn saw only six minutes while Darius Garland handled the bulk of the point-guard duties with the first unit. However, Max Strus exited with an injury after starting at shooting guard, potentially opening additional opportunities for Dunn as the Clippers work through several early-season injuries.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Role threatened by Wagler
Rotowire
Dunn could be at risk of handling a reserve role in 2026-27 due to the selection of Keaton Wagler with the No. 5 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Dunn might be a loser from a fantasy perspective after the Clippers added Wagler, who would likely supplant Dunn from the first unit at shooting guard if he plays well during training camp. 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 Summer League or at camp.

Rotowire
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.
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.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Another two-steal performance
Rotowire
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.
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.

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Limited output in win
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.
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 if Garland rests.

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

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

Clippers' Kris Dunn: Heads to locker room Sunday
Rotowire
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.
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 the injury occurred in the latter portion of a lopsided contest, it would be surprising if Dunn returns to the game, leaving extra minutes for Bennedict Mathurin.
