LOS ANGELES – Even before he logged a single minute on the court, Tyler Ennis experienced something with the Lakers he felt was lacking at the previous stops in his three NBA seasons.
“One, being able to get on the court. Two, having the staff and players believe in me,” Ennis. “That’s what has pushed me to be so comfortable so quick.”
Going into Friday’s game against Sacramento, Ennis was averaging career-highs in points (7.1), shooting percentage (40.5) and minutes (15.5) through 18 games. Ennis also was coming off a career-high 19 points and six assists while starting for an injured D’Angelo Russell during Wednesday’s win in San Antonio.
