Kobe Brown

Brown remains sidelined, with Monday's game being the seventh he's missed due to his back injury. The Clippers have yet to reveal a return timeline, which is concerning. That said, Brown's absence does not impact fantasy basketball.

Friday's game will be Brown's sixth missed, making it likely that the issue is more severe than the "injury management" label would lead one to believe. However, this will not impact fantasy basketball, as Brown's role is limited when healthy.

Brown is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy, so his continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball.
