Kobe Sanders: Everything you need to know

Sanders ended Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game loss to Golden State with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three assists across 11 minutes. Sanders was the ninth rotation player for the Clippers as their season came to an end. He made a total of 68 regular-season appearances and was never close to standard-league fantasy appeal with averages of 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists.

Sanders posted 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Thunder. The rookie forward has seen more court time in the last three games as the Clippers wrap up their schedule and prepare for the Play-In Tournament, and Sanders has taken advantage of the opportunity. He's sunk exactly three three-pointers in each contest, averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 threes, 2.3 boards, 2.3 steals and 1.3 assists in 22.7 minutes while shooting 58.3 percent from the floor and 56.3 percent (9-for-16) from beyond the arc. Sanders seems likely to maintain his elevated role over the final two games of the regular season.

Sanders supplied 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one assist and four steals over 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 138-109 win over the Kings. It's only the third time in his last 12 games (one start) that Sanders has scored in double digits, but the three made three-pointers tied his career high. The rookie forward is averaging 7.2 points, 1.3 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.3 steals in 15.0 minutes during that 12-game stretch as he struggles to maintain a consistent role in the Clippers' rotation.
