The Lakers initially started Taurean Prince due to Rui Hachimura not embracing specific duties, but Prince is now out for the game against the Sixers due to personal reasons. Rui Hachimura has stepped in as the X-factor for the Lakers, stabilizing the team and building chemistry with Austin Reaves. Assistant coach Darvin Ham expects Taurean Prince to return for the upcoming game against the Pacers.
Darvin Ham noted that he expects Taurean Prince back for Sunday’s game after he missed tonight’s contest for personal reasons.
