Asked before Wednesday night's home game against Houston, Clippers coach Doc Rivers was asked if the team is interested in adding Granger.

The Sixers bought him out and Granger ended up making uneventful stops in Los Angeles where he played for the Clippers , Miami and Phoenix before being used as salary fodder in a trade to Detroit this offseason. He's played a total of 89 games over the past three seasons and it doesn't appear as if that number is going to change any time soon.
