Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Headed for bench role

Batum isn't starting Monday's game against the Mavericks, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

This isn't necessarily a surprising decision by the Clippers, as Batum has averaged just 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists over his last 10 games as a starter. Marcus Morris gets the nod at forward as a result.
