Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said that Diabate is likely to see time in Tuesday's game against Portland, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Diabate has only appeared in two games for the Clippers this season. However, Lue mentioned that Diabate has improved greatly since training camp, and the coach plans to reward his improvements by getting him some playing time while some of the Clippers' key rotation players rest during the first night of a back-to-back set.
