David Nwaba is in for what head coach Luke Walton called an “AAU-style” weekend.
Immediately after the Lakers’ win in San Antonio on Wednesday, Nwaba hopped in a car and made the three-and-a-half hour drive to Hidalgo, Texas, for Game 1 of the D-Fenders’ playoff series against Rio Grande Valley.
Considering the alignment of the Lakers’ and D-Fenders’ schedules, Nwaba could theoretically play six days in a row from Thursday through Tuesday.
The likelihood of that is uncertain considering that Walton would like to keep his player fresh, especially considering how important he has been to the Lakers’ defense.
