25 Austin Rivers PG

Rivers indicated Monday that he's still deciding whether or not he'll exercise his player option for the 2018-19 season, Tomer Azarly of Clutch Points reports.

Rivers inked a three-year, $35 million contract with the Clippers in the summer of 2016, and the deal includes a player option worth roughly $12.7 million for 2018-19. The 25-year-old missed 21 games last season, but it was nonetheless the most productive year of his career, so he'll likely find suitors should he decline the option. However, given that only a handful of teams project to have significant cap room, it may be in Rivers' best interest to exercise the option and hit the market as an unrestricted free agent in 2019, when more teams are expected to have flexibility. Rivers averaged 15.1 points, 4.0 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.7 minutes per game in 2017-18 -- all career-bests.

Rivers concluded the 2017-18 NBA season by appearing in 61 games and averaging 15.1 points, 4.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds with the Clippers.

Rivers enjoyed his best season of his career despite tying a career low with 61 games played. The Duke Blue Devil increased his points- and assists-per-game averages by 3.1 and 1.2 respectively. Surprisingly though, the 24-year-old shot 42.4 percent from the floor, which was down from his last two seasons. Rivers is signed through next season in which he will make about $12.7 million.

Rivers (elbow) will play Wednesday against the Lakers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

After missing the Clippers last game, Rivers will return to the lineup for the season finale. With Rivers getting the green light, he likely won't see any restrictions and will play his usual workload. Since the start of March, Rivers is averaging 15.3 points and 4.3 assists over 35.9 minutes.

Rivers (elbow) is likely to play in Wednesday's season finale against the Lakers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Rivers missed Monday's game against the Pelicans with an elbow injury and while the Clippers have been eliminated from the playoffs, it appears the sixth-year guard will give it a go one more time during the 2017-18 season. With Lou Williams (ankle) out, Rivers could see a sizable workload, though he'll still come with plenty of risk as a DFS play considering he's fresh off an injury and playing in a meaningless game. It seems more likely guys like Tyrone Wallace, C.J. Williams and Sindarius Thornwell benefit from Williams' absence.

Rivers (elbow) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's season finale against the Lakers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Rivers joins Lou Williams (ankle) as players questionable to play, though it wouldn't be surprising if both ended up being held out considering the Clippers are out of playoff contention. That will be something to monitor throughout the day Wednesday, but if both were to sit out a second straight game, the likes of Tyrone Wallace, C.J. Williams and Sindarius Thornwell would see added run in the backcourt once again.
