The Los Angeles Lakers are all but eliminated from the NBA Playoffs. At 30-36 and 7.5 games out of the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference, head coach Luke Walton is ramping down minutes for starters.
Enter rookie Moe Wagner, the 2018 first-round draft pick. After extensive minutes in Wednesday’s 16-point loss to the Nuggets, the former Wolverine notched his first career start Saturday in a 120-107 loss to the Boston Celtics.
He filled the box score, tallying 22 points, six rebounds, three assists and a block.
