The Los Angeles Lakers are approaching the fifth starter place with flexibility, and Taurean Prince is ready to be given the preliminary alternative to fill that position on opening night time.

Having been signed as a free agent within the offseason, Prince will be a part of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and D’Angelo Russell within the beginning lineup in opposition to the Denver Nuggets.

Nevertheless, Lakers coach Darvin Ham has suggested in opposition to studying an excessive amount of into this choice, noting that Prince beginning is “circumstantial.”

Jarred Vanderbilt, who’s in rivalry for the beginning position, is unlikely to be out there for the opener because of a heel damage, based on Ham.
