Playing in his first game after a confusing time in the NBA's COVID protocols, Malik Monk scored 20 points off the bench for the Lakers in their Christmas Day loss to Nets.
The geriatric Lakers are counting on LeBron James for too much, and it’s going to cost them big if Russell Westbrook and crew can’t do more.He scored 20 points off the bench on eight-for-13 shooting. He scored 10 points in the fourth quarter when the Lakers rallied from 23 points down and tied the score late in the game. He made all four of his shots and both of his three-pointers in the quarter.
Monk’s journey through the COVID-19 protocols forced him out almost two weeks. Asked to explain how it went down, from being cleared to not being cleared, Monk tried his best. Monk was asked if he flew to Dallas with the Lakers on Dec. 14 to start a three-game trip, which would have meant he was cleared to play against the Mavericks on Dec. 15.But once in Dallas, Monk was placed in the protocols. He didn’t fly back to Los Angeles right away.
