Still. he continued to show his prowess in the 2015 NBA Playoffs against the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers.

He subsequently signed a one year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2015 to 2016 season, but was then traded back to Houston, becoming a starter once again for that team.
