The Lakers just gave up 47 points to the Jazz in the 1st quarter. Utah is shooting 61% from the field and ended the quarter with a Lauri Markkanen buzzer beater after Luka Doncic traveled on his half court attempt. Not a good start at all.

Dalton Rushing is having surgery on his right elbow today, per @maddie_m_lee, which will keep him out as a catcher for nine months but allow him to hit sooner. The Dodgers can capitalize on the lockout and fully resolve Rushing's issue rather than continue with non-surgical healing methods.
