Austin Rivers

Phoenix Suns’ Trevor Ariza has been traded to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Austin Rivers and Kelly Oubre Jr. This will be Ariza’s second stint with the Wizards, he played with them from 2012 to 2014. “Trevor has been one of the most effective, efficient, and versatile players at his position for over a [...]

How much faith does Austin Rivers have in his Washington Wizards? A bunch. Speaking with CBS Sports’ James Herbert, the 26-year-old combo-guard, who arrived via a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, said that he thinks people are severely underrating the Wizards in the Eastern Conference race: “I think we’re heavily slept-on,” he tells me.

Welp, that didn’t last long. Less than a week removed from NBA Hallwaygate 2018, the beef festering between the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets appears to be quashed. Or rather, at the very least, whatever tensions exist between Trevor Ariza and Austin Rivers are a thing of the past. Both Ariza and Gerald Green [...]

Things turned chippy between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers’ during their Monday night contest—and they apparently devolved even further after the final buzzer. On the heels of the Clippers’ victory, James Harden (who did not play), Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green went into Los Angeles’ locker room looking for Austin Rivers (who also [...]

Things between Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were absolutely as awkward and combustible as you think they were. Paul is now a member of the Houston Rockets, so this doesn’t matter anymore. But the two spent more than a half-decade together on the Los Angeles Clippers, ostensibly jostling for alpha status. And while the tense [...]

A lot of sports fans use Bleacher Report’s Team Stream app to follow their favorite sports teams and players. But by far and away, the Los Angeles Clippers’ newsfeed has to be running the hottest of anyone else in the league. They’re constantly in the news for one thing or another – whether it be [...]

On Thursday night, as the buzzer sounded on the Suns’ 118-104 victory over the Clippers, Austin Rivers had a few choice words for Mirza Teletovic. I think. See, inside 15 seconds to play, with the shot clock turned off and the Suns already leading 115-104, Teletovic drilled a wide-open three. Rivers, the son of Clippers [...]

It was no single decision during the series, but it was a decision Doc Rivers made 5 months ago that probably cost the Clippers the Western Conference Finals. Sunday May 17th, the Clippers lost a second-round series 4-3 to the Houston Rockets, who were led by James Harden’s 31 points and Dwight Howard’s 16 points [...]

When Los Angeles Clippers head coach and President of Basketball Operations Doc Rivers traded for his son Austin Rivers, the move was widely scrutinized—and for good reason. The roster desperately needed a wing defender, yet they traded Reggie Bullock and Chris Douglas-Roberts while releasing Jordan Farmar to make room for the young Rivers. It further [...]
