The Lakers used their traditional court for Friday’s NBA Cup matchup against the Mavericks “after technicians from the league’s court vendor determined that the Lakers’ Cup court was unplayable for Friday,” according to sources. The Lakers’ Cup court is “expected to undergo repairs and be available if the Lakers host their tournament quarterfinal on Dec. 9 or Dec. 10.” Multiple Lakers players “noted how slippery the Lakers’ Cup Court was for Tuesday’s win over the Clippers, which was the first time the Lakers used the alternate court this season.” G Luka Doncic, who was “critical of the court in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s game, went as far as to call the Lakers’ Cup Court ‘dangerous’” (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 11/28).
