Trail Blazers' Patrick Patterson: Signs camp deal with Portland
Rotowire

Patterson spent the past two seasons with the Clippers, where he appeared in 97 games (23 starts) and averaged 5.0 points and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 37.7 percent from distance. If he makes the Blazers' final roster, he could see backup power forward minutes, but he'd be competing with Larry Nance and Nassir Little.

Clippers' Patrick Patterson: Scores 12 points in spot start
Rotowire
Patterson had 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and six rebounds across 21 minutes in Friday's win over the Rockets.
Patterson moved to the starting lineup due to the absence of Marcus Morris (rest), and he performed well, scoring in double digits for the second time over his last five appearances. That said, Morris should return to the starting five Monday at New Orleans, meaning Patterson would head back to the bench.

Clippers' Patrick Patterson: Season-high 18 points off bench
Rotowire
Patterson played 14 minutes off the bench and contributed 18 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one block and one steal during Friday's 106-103 loss to the 76ers.
Friday was only the third time this season that Patterson had scored in double figures as his 18 points and five three-pointers were both tops this season. Patterson, even with the hot hand, could not top 15 minutes of playing time. While the outburst was nice for the Clippers, he can not be counted on to post this kind of performance on a nightly basis, especially when Kawhi Leonard (foot) gets healthy.

The 32-year-old started Thursday and scored seven points in 26 minutes, but he'll move back to the bench with Marcus Morris (calf) rejoining the lineup. Patterson averaged 11.3 minutes in his previous six appearances before Thursday and should have a similar role against the Sixers.

Rotowire
Patterson (personal) logged 11 minutes off the bench Thursday in the Clippers' 130-104 win over the Warriors, finishing with four points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds.
Patterson missed the Clippers' final five games prior to the All-Star break while tending to a personal matter, but he rejoined the team as it kicked off its second-half schedule Thursday. Before leaving the team, Patterson hadn't been a regular member of head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation, so he can't be counted on to play most nights.

Clippers' Patrick Patterson: Contributes in 15 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Patterson scored seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and corralled six rebounds Wednesday in a loss to the Jazz.
The veteran hasn't played much this season, but he was allotted 15 minutes on the court with Kawhi Leonard (leg), Paul George (toe) and Nicolas Batum (concussion) all out of action. Patterson tallied a season high in boards in the loss in addition to his seven points. He doesn't appear destined for more than a deep bench role and shouldn't be a consideration in any fantasy format.

Clippers' Patrick Patterson: Scores 13 in start
Rotowire
Patterson had 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3PT) and three rebounds in Sunday's win over the Knicks.
Patterson got the start with Nicolas Batum (groin) sitting out, and it was just his eighth appearance of the season. The veteran made the most of his 20 minutes, hitting all three of his three-point attempts and adding a block on the defensive end. If Batum misses any additional time, Patterson could temporarily stick in the lineup.

Clippers' Patrick Patterson: Works as backup center Sunday
Rotowire
Patterson finished with 10 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one assist and one steal in 18 minutes Sunday in the Clippers' 129-96 win over the Pacers.
After being left out of the rotation in each of the past five games, Patterson earned some run as the backup center to Ivica Zubac when Serge Ibaka (illness) was a late scratch. Patterson came through with a strong shooting night during his time on the court, but he'll likely drop back out of the rotation if Ibaka is good to go for the Clippers' next game Wednesday versus the Kings.
