Regardless of who is on the floor, the Los Angeles Lakers (31-19) are playing excellent basketball right now. They have won their first four February games and nine of their last 10 contests overall, continuing their climb up the Western Conference. And Luka Doncic has yet to even suit up. Until now, that is.

The Lakers and Hornets are returning from the break earlier than every other NBA team because they are playing a game that was rescheduled last month because of the catastrophic wildfires that ravaged the Los Angeles area. Redick and his family lost their home in the Pacific Palisades blaze.
