Talen Horton-Tucker makes case for Los Angeles Lakers role with 33-point night
Talen Horton-Tucker shined in Los Angeles Lakers’ win over the Clippers with 33 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in 41 minutes of action.
Per ESPN, “It’s going to make my job difficult for sure,” Vogel said when asked how he’ll find a role for Horton-Tucker after he dominated the LA Clippers with 33 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in a 131-106 win Sunday.
That left 41 minutes available for Horton-Tucker to play — more than half the 81 minutes he logged his entire rookie season — in which he racked up a plus-minus of plus-36.
“We have a very deep team. No minutes are guaranteed,” Vogel said. “He’s going to keep playing at a high level, and that should push everybody else to stay playing at a high level. It does give us that luxury of having him carry the load some for some of our guys who played deep in the championship run last year and had a short offseason.”
