🔮 The early-season success might’ve masked the reality of where the Lakers are at in their team-building journey.
🔮 Each week, the California Post will power rank the NBA’s 30 teams.
🔮 The game couldn’t have started better for the Lakers, who were fueled by a signature Luka Doncic scoring early scoring flurry Friday night in Chase Center.
🔮 The Lakers will be without one of their starting wings when they kick off NBA Cup Group Play action against the Warriors on Friday night at Chase Center.
🔮 It’s unlikely Doncic and Reaves will come even close to being the highest-scoring duo in a season.
🔮 When the Lakers would need to play or rely on players they normally don’t, for whatever the circumstances it may be for that given game. And against the Clippers, which was the second night of the back-to-back set after Tuesday’s home loss to the Trail Blazers, the circumstances were being without superstar guard Luka Doncic (back tightness) and Ziaire Williams (left foot soreness).
🔮 And he would’ve liked to return to the franchise.
🔮 The Lakers couldn’t stop Portland from anywhere on the court: The Blazers shot 59% from the field and 50% on 3s.
🔮 Coach JJ Redick responded “still working through that” when asked if there was an update on when Carr could make his regular season debut. “He was able to do a full practice,” Redick said.
🔮 The league announced Monday afternoon that Ziaire Williams was assessed a postgame flopping fine of $2,000 upon league office review.
