Redick said. “Then he couldn’t go in the second half.” Redick did not comment on the severity of the injury but expressed confidence in the team’s depth. Backup center Jaxson Hayes started the second half, contributing five points and four rebounds in 18 minutes. Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 33 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists, while Austin Reaves added 22 points and 10 rebounds. LeBron James recorded 17 points, eight assists, and six rebounds, and Maxi Kleber chipped in two points and three rebounds off the bench.

The Lakers (12-4) will next face the Los Angeles Chippers (5-12) in an NBA Cup group stage game at 11 p.m. EST Tuesday in Los Angeles.
