Lakers Announce Brand-New, LeBron James-Free Starting Lineup Vs Bucks

King James' ankle injury is lingering.

Your Los Angeles Lakers have announced yet another brand-new starting lineup tonight ahead of their matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Darvin Ham, despite seeing no evidence that suggested he should lean into a three-guard lineup, especially against a fairly big team like the Bucks, is indeed going for it by elevating reserve point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who's shown very little evidence of being a reliable force on either end of the ball since joining Los Angeles, to a starting role. 

Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports that Dinwiddie will play alongside incumbent starting guards D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves, plus starting power forward Rui Hachimura and All-Star starting center Anthony Davis.
