Lakers’ new center shows defense-first mindset
Deandre Ayton debuted for the Los Angeles Lakers in a preseason loss to the Phoenix Suns, finishing with one point, eight rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes. He said he’s focused on defense and team play, trusting Luka Doncic and LeBron James when they return.
Ayton’s offense might be on vacation, but his defense just booked courtside seats.
