‘It’s not easy’: Luka Doncic issues verdict on Cameron Carr after his first points for the Lakers
Cameron Carr finally got a meaningful opportunity with the Los Angeles Lakers in their game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 21-year-old, son of former six-year NBA veteran Chris Carr, joined the Lakers after initially being drafted and then traded by the New York Knicks.
Luka Doncic, a star player for the Los Angeles Lakers, praised rookie Cameron Carr after the young forward scored two points and grabbed three rebounds in just seven minutes against the Atlanta Hawks. The 21-year-old, the son of former NBA player Chris Carr, had previously played a total of three minutes in three games for the Lakers before finally getting his opportunity on Monday night.
Doncic, speaking to reporters after the game, stated that Carr's performance was "very good" and that it was crucial to give the ball to the rookie as a keepsake. The Lakers were without key players Austin Reaves and Quentin Grimes, which contributed to Carr's increased playing time. It remains to be seen if Carr's performance was enough to warrant more minutes from the coaching staff.
