JaVale McGee has been nothing short of a revelation in his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, as his presence and impact is felt not only when the 30-year-old is on the court but off it as well.
The Lakers addressed that by signing Tyson Chandler after he cleared waivers, pairing the veteran with McGee for an effective rotation at center. But head coach Luke Walton has largely stayed away from Chandler over the past two games.
He did not play against the Detroit Pistons, and only logged 5 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz.
