Ellington moved back to a bench role Tuesday with Kobe Bryant (rest) back in action, and Ellington didn't receive any run, collecting a DNP-Coach's Decision.

Analysis:

Ellington has averaged 10.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.4 steals, and 1.6 three-pointers in 30 minutes per game through seven starts this season. Even if Bryant decides to shut it down at some point and Ellington gets a regular gig, he's only going to be of use for modest scoring and three-pointers, which is always available on the waiver wire.
