DeAndre Jordan began as normal at focus, yet lead trainer Frank Vogel pulled him following four minutes of battling on the two finishes of the floor. Jordan didn't get back to the game.

Vogel rather went with Howard, who played a season-high 35 minutes and logged 12 focuses, 13 bounce back, two squares and two takes.

Howard uncovered postgame that Vogel at first let him know he wouldn't play, which was likewise the situation against the Detroit Pistons. Howard was a sound scratch in that game in light of the fact that the Lakers have been exploring different avenues regarding setups that space James at focus, so Howard was taken out from the situation.

In the wake of beating the Kings, Howard talked about how he remained prepared to play.

"I was really down when I got the news I wasn't going to play, yet I just advised myself to remain prepared," Howard said. "No one can tell what can occur in a game, and on second thought of permitting that news to modify my energy and exertion, I just attempted to get it. Assuming I got an opportunity to play this evening, I let myself know I was simply going to take the necessary steps to have the option to remain on the floor."

Howard credited Lakers associate mentor Phil Handy and Rajon Rondo for assisting him with these sorts of circumstances.

"Mentor Phil Handy showed me that before the game. (Rajon) Rondo is consistently in my ear; they consider him the Dwight Whisperer," Howard said.

It'll be intriguing to see what the arrangement is for Jordan pushing ahead. With James out because of wellbeing and security conventions, the Lakers need to stop his minutes at focus until he's solid once more.

Kent Bazemore, who opened the season as the starter, was pulled from the turn subsequent to battling, and Jordan's play puts him on a comparable direction. The key distinction is the Lakers have the profundity to supplant Bazemore, yet the program needs profundity in the frontcourt.
