The playing time has become as scarce as the Lakers’ victories. But Lakers reserve center Robert Sacre kept repeating one message to himself as he unexpectedly entered the rotation in the Lakers’ 106-98 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday at Staples Center.
“I came out and said I was going to have fun,” Sacre said. “I didn’t think about it.”
Sacre then lived up to his word. After sitting out the seven previous games because of healthy scratches, Sacre did something he could not do amid the 48 total missed appearances because of a coach’s decision.
