Bennedict Mathurin Enters 2026-27 Healthy After a 17.6-Point Season With the Clippers
newsroom · 3 h agoBennedict Mathurin heads into his fourth NBA season with the Clippers, coming off a 54-game year in which he averaged 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He is not on the injury report as camp approaches, and the 2026-27 opener is still ahead. There are no new games, trades or transactions on his file yet this season.
Where Mathurin Stands
Bennedict Mathurin returns to the Clippers for 2026-27 at age 24, entering his fourth NBA season out of Arizona. He wears No. 9 and is listed at guard-forward, 6-5, 210 pounds. Last season he played 54 games for the Clippers, averaging 30.0 minutes a night, and his roster listing shows the Clippers as his team last season too. His per-game numbers were 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists, with 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks. He also averaged 2.2 turnovers. Nothing in his file suggests a change in role heading into this season, and he is not on the injury report as camp approaches and the opener nears.
Last Season by the Numbers
Mathurin's 2025-26 season broke down to 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.2 turnovers a game across 54 appearances for the Clippers. He shot 43.0 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from three-point range, and he made 86.9 percent of his free throws. His true shooting percentage landed at 57.5 percent, and his usage rate was 24.6 percent, meaning close to a quarter of Clippers possessions ended with him shooting, turning it over or drawing a shooting foul while he was on the floor. His plus-minus for the season was -2.7. Those are last season's totals — nothing here reflects 2026-27 games, since that season has not started for him yet.
Efficiency and Role
A 57.5 true shooting percentage next to a 24.6 usage rate says Mathurin scored efficiently while carrying a heavy offensive workload last season. His free-throw shooting, 86.9 percent, was the strongest number in his profile, ahead of his 43.0 percent mark from the field and 31.5 percent from three. The gap between that efficiency and his -2.7 plus-minus points to a mixed two-way season: the offense produced with him on the ball, but his minutes did not tilt the score the Clippers' way. He averaged 2.2 turnovers against 2.4 assists, a ratio that fits a scoring wing more than a primary ball handler. None of these categories have new data yet for 2026-27.
Health Report
Mathurin is not on the injury report heading into 2026-27, and his injury history file is empty. That clean bill of health matters after a 54-game season last year for the Clippers, since it means he is expected to be available when the season opens. At 6-5 and 210 pounds, he is built for the guard-forward workload the Clippers gave him last season, and there is no indication that workload changes for camp. With no missed-game notes or lingering issues on record, the questions about him this fall are about role and shot selection, not health. The opener is still ahead, and until then, availability is the one column already checked off.
Around the League
A cap-related item from September 5, 2026, credited to Cap Observations, touched on the Pelicans, Cavaliers, Raptors and the stretch provision. It did not mention Mathurin or the Clippers directly. Nothing in the current rumor file connects Mathurin to a trade, and no transactions involving him appear anywhere in his record. He remains a Clippers player heading into 2026-27, per his roster listing, with last season's team also shown as the Clippers. Fans searching for Mathurin trade buzz will not find any tied to him specifically in this report. His situation heading into camp reads as straightforward: same team, same jersey number, same role he is expected to fill.
What's Next
No games have been played yet in 2026-27 for Mathurin, and no schedule details beyond the season label are on file. What is known: he heads into it as a rotation piece, healthy, at 24 years old, with a 43.0 percent shooting season and a 57.5 true shooting mark behind him. The Clippers will look for progress on his three-point number, 31.5 percent, and cleaner turnover totals to complement his 17.6 scoring average. Until the opener, that is the shape of the story — a productive, efficient scorer with no red flags on the injury report, waiting for the games to start.
