The 31-year-old forward was efficient from three-point range, shooting nearly 40 percent. While Patterson’s role on the court decreased in the playoffs last season, his veteran presence played an integral role in the locker room.</p><p>Patterson, who will be entering his 12th season in the NBA, will most likely be an insurance option player for the Clippers this season in case of injury. This past season, Patterson always seemed to be ready when called in by Doc Rivers.</p><p>As for the Clippers, this is their first signing of the offseason. The Clippers are set to have a busy offseason, having numerous players hit the open market this free agency. The Clippers have been rumoured to re-sign Marcus Morris Sr., Montrezl Harrell and JaMychal Green this offseason, however, if they re-sign all three, they most likely have the taxpayer mid-level exception available. This basically means that they won’t have enough cap space to sign role players they need such as Rajon Rondo, Tristan Thompson, or Serge Ibaka.</p><p>Nevertheless, Clippers general manager Lawrence Frank has always proven to work things out, even if it means using all of their cap space.</p><p>—</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on </i><a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp"><i>Twitter</i></a><i> &amp; </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en"><i>Instagram</i></a><i>, and like us on </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/"><i>Facebook</i></a><i>.

Apparently, these issues <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-paul-george-montrezl-harrell-heated-spat-during-game-2-loss-nuggets/">resurfaced</a> in Game 2 against the Nuggets when Montrezl Harrell reportedly got into it with Paul George.</p><p>There is plenty of noise surrounding L.A.’s failure to close. The Clippers were expected to make the Western Conference Finals, if not win the NBA championship. Unfortunately, they lost multiple double-digit leads in the final three games of the series — with the Paul George-Kawhi Leonard duo even going scoreless in the fourth quarter of Game 7.</p><p>Patrick Patterson is hardly a pivotal rotation player. He logged under 10 minutes in two playoff games. However, the Clippers might want to heed his “Own It” mantra as they look to turn the page.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s quite surprising since Leonard is known to be a quiet person. However, Patterson confirmed it was true. “Yes, Kawhi is the most active in our group chat,” Patterson said.</p><p>To finish off the interview, Patterson revealed his favorite memory in his NBA career and with the Clippers so far. “My favorite memory in my NBA career is me being drafted with my family around me,” Patterson said. “And with the Clippers, I have too many favorite memories to just choose one, on and off the court. However, we had a good time bowling.”</p><p>Before the season suspended, the Clippers were having one of their best seasons in franchise history. They were the second seed in the Western Conference, boasting a record of 44-20.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The highly-anticipated match, however, was canceled in the wake of the shocking passing of Kobe Bryant and eight others who was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-kobe-bryant-killed-helicopter-crash/" rel="noopener noreferrer">involved in a tragic helicopter crash</a>.</p><p>The entire league was left devastated by his death, especially the Lakers franchise which Bryant called home for 20 seasons.</p><p>Patterson’s seemingly insensitive comments, for sure, will leave a bad taste in the entire Lakers organization. The league has already received flak for not canceling the scheduled games on the day of Bryant’s passing.</p><p>Allowing the Lakers-Clippers match to push through that day just won’t make sense for a multitude of reasons.</p><p>Patrick Patterson, meanwhile, is on his first season with the Clips after signing a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the team over the summer. He is averaging modest numbers of <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/pattepa01.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">4.9 points</a> and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 39.9 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from three in 45 appearances this season.</p><p>The 6-foot-8 forward has missed LA’s last three games due to injury. Patterson also invited Lakers’ recently waived center DeMarcus Cousins to “join the other side” in a follow-up IG story.</p><p>The Clippers have also gotten the better of the Lakers in their first two encounters of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
