EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After Luka Doncic presented concerns about the slippery surface of the special, alternative NBA Cup court the Los Angeles Lakers played on earlier this week, the Lakers will use their traditional court for their NBA Cup group game against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.
The bright yellow NBA Cup court was examined by technicians from the league's court vendor and deemed unplayable for Friday, according to the team.
The vendor is expected to make repairs to the court and have it available should L.A. host a NBA Cup quarterfinals game at Crypto.
