The Los Angeles Clippers expect Austin Rivers to return for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Utah Jazz, sources tell The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Rivers has yet to appear in the postseason after suffering a hamstring strain in late March.

The 24-year-old was in the midst of his best professional season prior to the injury, averaging 12 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.2 rebounds on 44.2 percent shooting and 37.1 percent from deep.

Rivers' return could force Raymond Felton out of the Clippers' rotation, with the 32-year-old struggling as the team's backup point guard over the last several weeks.
