Hyland (not injury related) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Hyland has totaled 57 points, 15 assists and six steals over his last two appearances, including one start, and he was in line for another elevated role Sunday, as most of the Clippers' regulars are resting. However, the youngster has been ruled out an hour before tipoff after not being listed on any of the previous injury reports. It's unclear if he'll have a regular rotational role during the postseason.

Hyland chipped in 20 points (7-17 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 110-109 loss to the Jazz.
Hyland led all Clippers in scoring and threes made while handing out a team-best assist total and a team-high-tying trio of steals while receiving extended minutes off the bench with Los Angeles resting some of its starters. Hyland has surpassed the 20-point mark in two games this season, finishing with at least five boards and five assists in two contests. We could see Hyland earn extra minutes again in the regular-season finale Sunday.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Struggles in spot start
Rotowire
Hyland accumulated five points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Pelicans.
Hyland got the starting nod once again with James Harden ruled out due to a shoulder injury. Coming off a strong performance Thursday, Hyland failed to repeat his heroics, tallying just five points in 24 minutes. Harden's injury doesn't sound as though it is going to cause him to miss significant time, meaning Hyland's stretch of relevance could end just as quickly as it began.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Takes advantage of spot start
Rotowire
Hyland notched 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 126-111 victory over the Bulls.
Hyland was inserted into the starting lineup with James Harden (shoulder) sidelined. Hyland made the most of his opportunity as he recorded his first double-double of the season and the third of his career. His 11 assists Thursday tied a career high set in December of 2022, and his 17 points were his most since Nov. 10 against the Mavericks. Law Murray of The Athletic reported after Thursday's game that Harden is uncertain he'll play Friday against the Pelicans, and if that's the case, Hyland figures to reprise his starting role.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Starting for injured Harden
Rotowire
Hyland will get the start Thursday against the Bulls in place of the injured James Harden (shoulder), Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Hyland has been a consistent part of the rotation over the past seven games, and it appears coach Tyronn Lue has seen enough to give him a chance at starting in place of Harden. Hyland has gotten the nod in two prior games this season, totaling 21 points, eight assists, two steals and one rebound in 66 minutes. Per 36 minutes, he's averaging 16.3 points, 5.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals. The Clippers will still have Kawhi Leonard (back) after an injury scare, however, so it won't be just up to Hyland and Paul George to generate first-unit offense.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Plays well off bench
Rotowire
Hyland ended with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 118-100 loss to Minnesota.
Kawhi Leonard left this game early after 12 minutes with a back issue and didn't return, and Hyland made the most of his limited minutes. He had no rhythm at the beginning of March, but he's played well in three straight games with averages of 10.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Enters rotation for Clippers
Rotowire
Hyland notched zero points (0-3 FG) and two assists in 14 minutes during Sunday's 89-88 victory over Minnesota.
After not playing at all in February, Hyland has averaged 15.0 minutes in his last two appearances. He's getting some opportunity with Russell Westbrook (wrist) out indefinitely, but there's some obvious rust to shake off with a combined two points in those games on 1-for-10 shooting.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Available to play
Rotowire
Hyland will be available for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
While Hyland will be available for Thursday's game, that doesn't mean he'll play. The third-year guard has appeared in only 19 games for the Clippers this season, posting meager averages of 6.2 points, 1.7 assists and not much else on 36.7 percent shooting from the floor. He was sent home ahead of the Clippers' final game before the All-Star break to reset his mindset after frustrations about playing time.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Hyland is not with the team and is listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.
Hyland's absence won't impact the Clippers' rotation, as he hasn't played since Jan. 31 despite being available. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Clippers opted to send Hyland and P.J. Tucker home for the final game before All-Star Weekend to reset their mindsets following months of frustration due to lack of playing time. Both players are expected to return to the team after the break, so Hyland's next chance to suit up will come Feb. 22 against the Thunder.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Rare appearance in win
Rotowire
Hyland totaled two points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 10 minutes during Saturday's 115-96 win over the Celtics.
Hyland played at least 10 minutes for just the second time in over two months, taking advantage of the blowout win. After an encouraging start to the season, Hyland has fallen out of the rotation, spending far more time on the bench than he does on the court. From a fantasy perspective, there is nothing to see or do here.

Clippers' Bones Hyland: Questionable to play Monday
Rotowire
Hyland (knee) is considered questionable to play Monday against Indiana, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Hyland is amid a two-game absence due to right knee soreness, following a nine-minute cameo on Dec. 12 after a three-game absence due to shoulder issues. He's also logged a handful of DNP-CDs this season, so it's difficult to determine exactly how banged up Hyland is. Amir Coffey has seen a nightly role across the Clippers' past three games, which Hyland could usurp if he's cleared to play Monday.
