Lonnie Walker surprises Lakers fans

Lonnie Walker entered the league through the 2018 NBA Draft. He was selected by the San Antonio Spurs as the 18th overall pick. After playing for the Spurs for four years and scoring a career-high 28 points, he signed with the Lakers in July 2022. The Los Angeles Lakers team entered a one-year contract with Walker that was worth $6.5 million. Many were skeptical when the Los Angeles Lakers signed Walker. The reason being Walker’s issues with shooting efficiency and his poor defensive skills.

However, Walker gave a pretty impressive performance during the game before his night abruptly ended due to the unfortunate incident. The 23-year-old star managed to score 12 points and three rebounds within 19 minutes. Meanwhile, AD scored 19 points with 13 rebounds, and three assists, and King James finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds.
