Sanders provided five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Friday's 119-103 win over Portland.
Sanders took only two shots but still led Los Angeles' bench in scoring.

The Clippers are treading water right now, meaning Sanders could very well stick in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.
