Lakers two-way player Mason Jones was given an opportunity by the head coach Frank Vogel to play for the purple and gold and took advantage of it. The 23-year-old played 18 minutes and scored 13 points on a perfect shooting. It was his third game with the Lakers. Over the three games he averaged 6 points and 1.7 assists.
“It feels good,” Jones said about getting opportunity to play for the Lakers. “Like I said earlier, I was really excited for this opportunity knowing that coach [Frank] Vogel came up to me pre-game and was like ‘Mason, you’re going to get an opportunity to play tonight.’
“Just for me being young my eyes glue up knowing that I was having a chance to showcase my skills and being able to get the minutes to really showcase what I could do. All credit goes to him, coach Vogel didn’t have to play me tonight even though it was the last two games. So just being able to get that opportunity.”
