This week, Sun Yue of China played his first NBA regular-season game with the Lakers, scoring four points in a little over five minutes of action during the fourth quarter against the Milwaukee Bucks: Lakers' Sun rises to the occasion. Finally, the guy gets some game time.
Sun filled open roster spot when Luke Walton got sick with the flu. The 6'9" guard was acquired by the Lakers with a second-round pick in 2007 (40th overall), but he didn't sign until August of this year, and he's been on the bench ever since. Until Sunday night. That's one game under his belt.
