Augustin had a place on this squad early in the season when the team required a veteran presence in the backcourt with youngsters Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green holding the starting reins. He had high water marks of 22 points in a December 13 win over the Atlanta Hawks and a season-best 8 assists in a December 10 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Overall, he averaged 5.3 points and 1.6 assists per night on an average of 15 minutes across 32 games played, but after Christmas, he barely saw the court, racking up 16 DNPs over the next 21 games.
