Cam Reddish flourishing with Lakers after rocky NBA start
Cam Reddish was coming off a stretch in which a groin injury that had plagued him earlier in his career forced him to sit out four of five games and rendered him scoreless in 20 minutes in the one he was able to play.
So it would have been understandable if the fifth-year forward’s confidence was shaken ever so slightly going into the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
Maybe during other stops in the 2019 No. 10 pick out of Duke’s career — cycling through the Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers in his first four years — it would have been.
But that’s not the Reddish who has showed up in L.A. so far this season.

“I haven’t had an atmosphere like this I don’t think in my entire NBA career,” Reddish said last month when asked about his Lakers experience thus far. “It’s been a lot of fun. A blessing. I’m just looking forward to the future.”
