The Los Angeles Lakers' court for the NBA Cup is a late scratch for Friday's game.
Austin Reaves scored 38 points, Luka Doncic added 35 points and 11 assists in his third meeting with his former team, and the Lakers spoiled Anthony Davis' return to Los Angeles with a 129-119 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
During Sunday’s game against the Utah Jazz, Ayton got off to a quiet start, recording two points and three rebounds in his first 13 minutes while attempting just two shots.
