November 26th - In the NBA Cup group stage, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 135-118. After the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick spoke about Jaxson Hayes receiving a technical foul for supporting Luka Doncic. Redick said, "I mean, we've always done this, whether it's celebrating, scoring a basket, cheering for a teammate, or someone falling down and the other guys running over to help them up. We're not saying you have to do it, but it usually means players will show goodwill to each other, whether they like each other or not. Tonight was an example." In this game, Lakers player Luka Doncic started and played 38 minutes, shooting 14-for-28 from the field, 7-for-12 from three-point range, and 8-for-11 from the free-throw line, scoring 43 points, 9 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.
