Stephenson only managed five points, six rebounds, and two assists with a turnover in the Clippers’ win against the Suns on Monday.

Stephenson got the start once again, but he actually played fewer minutes than fellow small forward Paul Pierce. That being said, Pierce and small forward Josh Smith put up numbers similar to Stephenson, meaning that Stephenson should continue to see solid minutes whether he’s starting or not. However, Stephenson will need to improve upon the 5.5 points per game that he’s posted through four games if he wants to be more relevant in most formats.
