Professional career

2004-2006

Livingston signed with Duke University, but opted to skip college and enter the 2004 NBA Draft, in which the Clippers selected him with the 4th overall pick.

Livingston, who has a wingspan, is tall for point guard standards () and, due to the addition of Sam Cassell to the Clippers’ roster, saw playing time at shooting guard. He was an integral part of the Clippers’ best season in franchise history in the 2005-06 season. Livingston recorded a career-high 14 assists on February 23, 2007 against the Golden State Warriors.

In his first two NBA seasons, playing in a total of 91 games, Livingston averaged 6.3 points per game. In his third season, he scored a career high 9.3 points per game, being one of the few Clippers to improve from the 2005-06 season. His breakout year was interrupted by a knee injury that led him to miss 39 games.
