Yanic Konan Niederhauser<\/a> tore a ligament in his right foot, putting an early end to his rookie season with the Clippers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 7-foot Swiss center was injured Wednesday night in a 130-107 win<\/a> against the Indiana Pacers. Niederhauser was diagnosed with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot and will require surgery, the team said. The injury involves damage to the ligaments or bones in the middle of the foot.<\/p>\n

Niederhauser averaged 4.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 41 games. After being selected 30th<\/a> in last year’s NBA draft, he began the season in the G League, but after the Clippers traded Ivica Zubac<\/a> last month, he was earning more minutes.<\/p>\n

In his last five games, Niederhauser was shooting 52% from the field and averaging 8.2 points and 6.2 rebounds while playing 18 minutes a game.<\/p>\n
