Clippers' Alan Anderson: Excluded from rotation in opener

Anderson (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

Anderson was in the mix for a starting role at small forward in the preseason, but those honors ultimately went to Luc Mbah a Moute in the season opener. As a defense-first player with significant limitations on the offensive end of the court, Mbah a Moute won't surpass the 20-minute mark most nights, but for now, Anderson doesn't look to be in line to serve as his primary backup. Anderson was excluded from coach Doc Rivers' rotation entirely, with Wesley Johnson and Raymond Felton picking up all of the spare minutes at small forward.
