The LA Lakers are back on the road on Sunday, visiting the Phoenix Suns at the PHX Arena. Both teams were coming off very poor performances in the 2025 Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinals. The Lakers were dominated by the San Antonio Spurs, while the Suns were embarrassed by the OKC Thunder.
Coach JJ Redick had to make a slight change to his starting five, with Austin Reaves out with a mild calf strain. Marcus Smart gets the start at shooting guard, joining Luka Doncic in the backcourt. The rest of the starters were LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and DeAndre Ayton.
Meanwhile, coach Jordan Ott got a much-needed boost with the return of Devin Booker to the starting lineup. Booker was joined by Collin Gillespie at point guard, while Grayson Allen, Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams complete the starting five.
