The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Utah Jazz 112-97 last night. The Lakers were missing several players due to injury including Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball. The team has been plagued with injuries this season, leaving their roster depleted.
However, the team’s philosophy has always been next man up. A few players saw their minutes increase and they were able to contribute in meaningful ways. Though the Lakers came up short against the Jazz, rookie guard Josh Hart put on a show for the Los Angeles matinée crowd.
