The 6-foot-10 rookie center, who helped close out their win in Portland, doesn’t know what to expect in the Clippers’ next game or next week but will be ready if his name is called again.
The team’s lingering and new injuries were behind Lue’s decision to bring up Moussa Diabate and Jason Preston from the G League’s Ontario Clippers. The two rookies saw action in both of the Clippers’ road games last week, filling the gaps in the lineup.
Diabate, who is on a two-way contract, played the entire fourth quarter in the victory against Portland and finished with three points and four rebounds in 12 minutes. Preston made one 3-pointer in his six minutes. “I obviously felt ready,” Diabate said. “That’s what I practice for. Just be ready when my time is called. So, it’s just been a blessing really. Outside of that, just grateful for the opportunity.”
“TMann definitely made sure to tell me that when I get into the G League, just have fun with it, you know? Don’t try to take it lightly or anything,” Diabate said. “Don’t feel like I’m supposed to kill or whatever.
