Deandre Ayton Still Waiting to Build Chemistry With Lakers Stars
Deandre Ayton, the team's marquee offseason addition, revealed Wednesday that he has yet to share the floor with superstars Luka Doncic or LeBron James. With James expected to miss the first few weeks of the season, Ayton's ability to mesh quickly will be crucial to keeping Los Angeles competitive out of the gate. The 27-year-old big man averaged 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds across 40 games with the Trail Blazers last season but has battled inconsistency and injuries throughout his career. The Lakers are banking on Ayton's presence inside to stabilize the frontcourt and complement Doncic's playmaking once the team's full roster is healthy.
