Marcus Morris Sr. first, Nicolas Batum second, Robert Covington third.
Stashed beneath the LA Clippers’ abundance of veteran forwards, Covington failed to crack Tyronn Lue’s rotation.
The Tennessee State product played in just 48 games and averaged 16.2 minutes per game, the lowest in his career since his rookie season with the Houston Rockets. In limited minutes, he averaged six points on 44.5 percent shooting alongside 3.5 rebounds.
But while his numbers don’t tell a compelling story, Covington was, at times, a short yet much-needed relief from a shot-stuffing Morris or a pleasantly mediocre Batum.
