Earl Clark expected to play backup SF
Earl Clark - F/C - Los Angeles Lakers
March 22, 2013 - 2:10 PM ET

Earl Clark will see more minutes as the backup small forward with Pau Gasol (foot) healthy.

Mike D'Antoni will mix and match rotations, but Clark will still be a major part of what the Lakers do given his versatility and length. Those facts combined with an inconsistent Lakers bench should keep Clark relevant in deeper leagues, but standard owners should weigh their options. Clark should have a size advantage over many small forwards, but he's not going to get the same looks on offense he did when the Lakers were banged up.
