The Los Angeles Lakers had two marquee preseason debuts against the Suns on Tuesday night, but it was easy to miss Marcus Smart. He played 20 forgettable minutes, during which he had zero points, one assist, and two personal fouls. Smart didn’t even take a shot, but the worst part was Jared Butler and Jordan Goodwin going off with the former Defensive Player of the Year doing little to shut them down.
Luka Doncic looked fantastic in his first preseason game. He had 25 points, seven rebounds, and four dimes, and Reaves added 25 points of his own.
