The quintet of LeBron James at center with Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk, Austin Reaves and Stanley Johnson is now their most-played starting lineup of the season.
LOS ANGELES — An event 68 games in the making finally happened on Monday night: The Lakers played their small-ball starting lineup for the sixth time of the season.
It’s an indication of the ugly injury situation which has dogged the team all year, in addition to their inconsistent play. Coach Frank Vogel has spent most of the season pulling strings, never starting any one group more than five times before Monday against the Toronto Raptors. The Lakers have played 32 different starting lineups this season.
“It’s a small dosage obviously but I mean we’ve had so many different lineup changes this year and trying to figure out ways which ones works the best that’s probably been the only one that’s been above .500,” he said. “So we’ve tried to stick with it. We’ve tried to have some consistency with some lineups.”
