What happened: Peter Suder joined the Los Angeles Lakers' starting unit for their second California Classic game, one day after signing a two-way contract. Adou Thiero and Cameron Carr retained their starting spots amid several lineup changes.
Why it matters: The adjustment gave Suder an early opportunity to establish his role and organize the summer offense. Carr and Thiero remained central to the Lakers' developmental lineup after starting the opener.
By the numbers: Carr scored 19 points with five 3-pointers in the California Classic opener. Thiero recorded nine points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
What to watch: Watch how Suder handles creation duties and how the revised first unit performs together.
