Despite those underwhelming stats, Livingston has been a valuable piece during the Warriors dominant run.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnba.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/nba-teams\/los-angeles-clippers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> drafted him fourth overall in 2004.\u00a0Before he won three championships with the Warriors, he was known as a talented guard with great size. He suffered a gruesome injury with the Clippers. He dislocated his kneecap after landing awkwardly on the way down from a missed layup. Livingston ended up incurring almost every major injury to that knee, including an ACL tear. After being let go by the Clippers, he bounced around a number of teams such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnba.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/nba-teams\/miami-heat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miami Heat<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnba.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/nba-teams\/washington-wizards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington Wizards<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnba.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/nba-teams\/milwaukee-bucks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonnba.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/nba-teams\/cleveland-cavaliers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He has played an integral role for the Warriors off the bench since he arrived in 2014. Livingston&#8217;s veteran savvy was key for a young Warriors squad that was still learning how to thrive in the postseason. Thanks to his championship experience, Livingston will draw interest from contenders looking to add a cheap, experienced presence.
