The Lakers' 0–5 start is their worst since the 2014–15 season, and they remain one of just two NBA teams left who haven’t won a game. That makes them probably the most disappointing team in the league so far.
In the middle of all this is the drama with Russell Westbrook, as the team and the point guard have struggled to figure out how to move forward together this season. Last night, Westbrook came off the bench, the first time he’s done that since his rookie season in 2008–09.
In 33 minutes, Westbrook scored 18 points on 17 shots and collected eight rebounds in the Lakers’ loss to the Timberwolves.
