Los Angeles Lakers reserve point guard Alex Caruso had quite the weekend planned. With the G League playoffs starting, Caruso was set to play three games in three days, Friday and Sunday with the Lakers, with a trip to Oklahoma City in between to play in the South Bay Lakers’ playoff game.
Game one was a personal success as Caruso finished with six points and six assists, leading the Lakers’ second unit that erased a 20-point Milwaukee Bucks lead, though they ultimately came up short in overtime.
Caruso wound up playing 31 minutes off the bench for the Lakers, and though hopping on a plane for another game before coming back to Los Angeles was a pretty daunting task, Caruso sounded up to it.
