Los Angeles rookie Dalton Knecht returned to the team’s starting lineup in a win over San Antonio.
In mid-November, the Lakers made the decision to start rookie Dalton Knecht with others hurt, hoping to continue its win streak by adding shooting to the potion with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
In his two games previous to the matchup with San Antonio on Wednesday night, Knecht had been benched due to the return of Rui Hachimura, a puzzling reversion from the Lakers given the rookie’s success in the initial five. Wednesday, Los Angeles made the correct decision to re-insert him into the starting lineup alongside James and Davis, and it paid dividends in both a great night for Knecht and a win for the purple and gold.
