Clippers' Marcin Gortat: Waived by Clippers
Marcin Gortat was waived by the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Gortat's role fluctuated heavily throughout the season, including DNP-CDs. So his departure from a now-rebuilding team isn't surprising. Overall, he appeared in 47 games with the Clippers, averaging 5.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.0 minutes. It's possible he lands somewhere on the buyout market.

Clippers' Marcin Gortat: Offers little in starting role
Marcin Gortat put up zero points (0-1 FG), eight rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes Tuesday in the Los Angeles Clippers' 117-115 win over the Hornets.Gortat failed to see the court while serving as the third-string center in the Clippers' last game Sunday against the Raptors, but he reclaimed his spot on the top unit two days later. The starting assignment didn't mean much, however, as Gortat still played far less minutes than the top center on the roster, Montrezl Harrell (28 minutes). After the game, the Clippers tinkered with their center options by trading Boban Marjanovic to the 76ers in a six-player deal that returned Mike Muscala, among others. A floor-stretching big man, Muscala could get a look in the rotation over the next few months and bump Gortat back down to third on the depth chart.

Clippers' Marcin Gortat: Drops out of rotation
Marcin Gortat (coach's decision) didn't play Sunday in the Los Angeles Clippers' 121-103 loss to the Raptors.After starting the Clippers' previous six games, Gortat was dropped from the rotation entirely with Montrezl Harrell moving up to the top unit and Boban Marjanovic serving as the backup center. Coach Doc Rivers has occasionally swapped Gortat out for Marjanovic based on matchups, so Gortat's lack of playing time Sunday doesn't necessarily signal his permanent removal from the rotation. That said, Gortat is averaging 5.1 points, 5.5 boards and 1.4 assists in 16.0 minutes per game when he plays this season, so there's little fantasy upside to be mined here.

Clippers' Marcin Gortat: Productive scorer in limited run
Marcin Gortat generated 10 points (5-6 FG), five rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes Monday in the Los Angeles Clippers' 123-118 loss to the Hawks.Gortat reached double digits in the scoring column for just the third time in January, with his suppressed minutes at the root of his limited production. Though he continues to serve as the Clippers' starting center, he routinely cedes most of the playing time at the position to backup Montrezl Harrell. The minutes distribution between the two big men isn't likely to change at any point in the near future.

Clippers' Marcin Gortat: Nears double-double in win
Marcin Gortat finished with 10 points (5-9 FG), eight rebounds and one assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Heat.Gortat finished in double-figures for the second time in 2019 in his return to the starting lineup. He'd received little run in the reserve role, playing just 12 total minutes over two games. While the uptick in minutes and production are promising, Gortat's averaging just 16.2 minutes per game this season, and due to depth of the Los Angeles Clippers' frontcourt, doesn't have a large enough opportunity to produce fantasy-relevant numbers consistently.

Clippers' Marcin Gortat: Well-rounded line in Sunday's win
Marcin Gortat totaled eight points (4-8 FG), 10 rebounds, six assists, and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 106-96 win over the Magic.Gortat has put together two straight solid outings, following up Friday's season highs in points (18) and rebounds (13) with a season high six dimes in this one. He has earned 24.0 minutes per game through the first three games of January, this after seeing just 15.3 minutes per game during December. Gortat still has to split time with Montrezl Harrell, but the veteran remains capable of contributing here and there, albeit on an inconsistent basis.
