Los Angeles Clippers rookie Keaton Wagler is making an impact off the bench, averaging 12.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists through 11 games. Head coach Tyronn Lue recently apologized to the fifth overall pick for limiting him to 16 minutes on Nov. 4 despite a team-high +15 rating, committing to increase his role.
