The small forward was a sometimes starter and sometimes sixth man during his time with the Clippers, which included being part of the team in 1991-92 that broke the franchise’s record 15-season playoff drought.

Norman was held back a bit by a series of nagging injuries, only playing in 80 games in a season once while with the Clippers.

In July 1993, Norman left to sign a free-agent deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.

In six seasons in Los Angeles, he averaged 14.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.9 minutes per game, shooting .501/.214/.595.

After enjoying a full 82-game slate with the Bucks, Norman was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in June 1994.

He retired after being waived by the Hawks in October 1997.
