Norman Powell is out indefinitely after suffering a fractured medial sesamoid bone in his left foot. The Clippers say the treatment is non-surgical for now and there is no timetable for his return. – 6:30 PM

Re: Norm Powell: A sesamoid bone is a type of bone that is embedded within a tendon. For example, the knee cap (patella) is a sesamoid. The sesamoid bones of the big toe sit at the digit’s base and help bear weight and create leverage when pushing off. – 6:23 PM

At least Norm Powell gets to be at the Super Bowl? pic.twitter.com/V6CsVGRvGD – 6:22 PM

Norman Powell is ALSO at the Super Bowl

Just landed in Los Angeles, so to repeat what everyone has seen earlier, the Clippers get another dose of brutal injury news. No timetable for the return of Norm Powell. He’s played just 3 games with LAC. pic.twitter.com/1UhEMfich3 – 6:19 PM

On top of Norman Powell injury news, still awaiting an update on Luke Kennard (ankle discomfort). Ty Lue said yesterday that Kennard was “going through something” as shown here.
He’s at the Super Bowl for the AFC Champion Bengals, so there’s that. pic.twitter.com/EzFfwuk2BD – 6:15 PM

No surgery for Norman Powell, Clippers say, but also no timetable for his recovery from a fractured medial sesamoid bone in his left foot.

Here’s the injury to Norman Powell suffered Thursday that threatens to end his season after three games with the Clippers.
Team initially called it a turf toe injury, which was the first sign that things were bad. pic.twitter.com/sZMU02PVVV – 5:55 PM

So to recap:
– Kawhi Leonard (0 games this season after right ACL surgery in July)
– Paul George (0 games since Christmas after torn right elbow UCL)
– Norman Powell (3 games after Portland trade before season-threatening fractured bone in left foot) – 5:44 PM

Two days ago Kawhi Leonard dapped up Norman Powell as Powell came to the bench during the game’s first timeout. Tonight they’re both in street clothes on the sideline. Leonard – 8:54 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Tyronn Lue says that Terance Mann will replace Norman Powell (out) in starting lineup, and rest of lineup will start.
That means Zubac on floor with Doncic, and Lue says that plan will remain the same… – 7:02 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Norman Powell is out with turf toe. Terance Mann will start. – 7:00 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Before tipoff in Dallas, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said that Norman Powell (turf toe) will NOT play. Terance Mann will start in his place. – 7:00 PM
