Going into Wednesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Los Angeles Lakers were in need of a change. No one knew exactly what that change needed to be, but something needed to be done after they dropped back-to-back games to bottom-10 teams.
Moments before tip-off, it was revealed that the change would be in the starting lineup. Instead of starting Brandon Ingram at point guard, the Lakers moved Rajon Rondo back in with the starters, along with Reggie Bullock and Brandon Ingram on the wings and Kyle Kuzma and LeBron James in the frontcourt.
