UNDATED (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers are keeping an important part of their bench.

Free agent Nicholas Batum has re-signed with the Clippers after reviving his career during last season’s pandemic-shortened schedule.

The 32-year-old forward averaged 8.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 67 games while shooting 40% from the field last season.

With Batum locked up, the team has retained all of its free agents who helped lead the Clippers to their first Western Conference finals appearance in franchise history.
