Batum scored zero points (0-1 FG), adding three rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 18 minutes during Monday's preseason win over Dallas.
Now in the twilight of his career, Batum's role on this Clippers team is going to be muted, to say the least. He should be in the rotation every night but is likely to be limited to about 20 minutes when everyone is healthy. At best, he could be utilized for streaming purposes if and when the Clippers are dealing with injuries or the schedule is highly favorable.
