Lakers News: Luke Walton Praises Lance Stephenson For Providing Boost Vs. Heat After Falling Out Of Rotation

Through 27 games of the 2018-19 NBA season, Lance Stephenson has had his fair share of highs and lows with the Los Angeles Lakers.

After Stephenson scored in double-figures four times through the first eight games of the season, his role and minutes have been inconsistent. As head coach Luke Walton recently gave Michael Beasley an opportunity, he shared Stephenson fell out of the rotation due to turnovers.

With Beasley away from the team and Brandon Ingram still recovering from a sprained ankle, Stephenson remained prepared and received high praise from Walton after the team’s 108-105 win over the Miami Heat.
