When Byron Scott announced his first major lineup change of the season on Dec. 7, he also said that it would be subject to change after about a 10-game sample size.
Exactly 10 contests later, the head coach said at Saturday's practice that he will keep his current starters — Jordan Clarkson, Lou Williams, Kobe Bryant, Larry Nance Jr. and Roy Hibbert — together for at least three more games through the end of the calendar year.
Scott reasoned that it's difficult to make changes when the team has been on the road so much, thus limiting practice time for a new starting unit to find cohesion.
