Clippers’ Austin Rivers to be featured on ‘NBA Inside Stuff’
Clippers’ reserve guard Austin Rivers will be featured on Saturday’s episode of “NBA Inside Stuff” on NBA TV at 9 a.m. PDT.
The piece will give a glimpse into the NBA player’s life, including a visit to the go-kart track with friends.
Rivers has been an instrumental part of the Clippers’ playoff success. He’s averaged 8.8 points on 46.6% shooting from the field and 39.4% shooting from beyond the three-point line in the team’s 13 postseason games against the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets.
Rivers started in Chris Paul’s place in Games 1 and 2 of the Clippers’ second-round playoff series against the Rockets as Paul recovered from a strained left hamstring. Then, in Paul’s return in Game 3, Rivers exploded with a huge game, allowing Paul to ease back into action.
In Game 3, Rivers had 25 points on 10-for-13 shooting in 23 minutes off the bench to help lead the Clippers to a 124-99 victory.
The television segment will give a behind-the-scenes of Rivers’ performance in the game.
