Three of those were two-way players leaving second-year guard Dalton Knecht as the only player off the Lakers&#8217; bench who has gotten regular rotation minutes in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Knecht has often shined when put into a larger role and he undoubtedly had his best game of the young season with 16 points off the bench, all coming in the second half. It wasn&#8217;t enough to help the Lakers get a victory <a href=\"https:\/\/lakersnation.com\/recap-shorthanded-lakers-cant-keep-up-with-trail-blazers-on-second-night-of-back-to-back\/\" target=\"_blank\">as they fell to the Trail Blazers<\/a>, but after the game Knecht said he felt good and is thankful for his teammates and coaches always having belief in him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel good. All my shots are right they&#8217;re just not falling,&#8221; Knecht said. &#8220;I&#8217;m a confident shooter and gonna keep shooting no matter what and all the guys got belief in me to go out there and keep shooting. So I gotta shout out my teammates for all that and the coaching staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Knecht has never been shy and is always willing to put up shots when he feels he is open, which is a great quality to have. Though he did shoot just 2-of-8 from 3-point range, many of those shots were good looks. The Lakers guard also felt that making plays on the defensive end helped him get in more of a rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For sure. Kind of got into a rhythm with that sequence and like I said, just being out there confident,&#8221; Knecht added. &#8220;That was our stint where we were getting stops and beating them up as well, so something just to build off of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt Knecht can score at this level, but it&#8217;s the other parts of his game, particularly his defense, that must improve in order for him to be a regular contributor. So having two steals and a block against the Blazers was a good sign. Unfortunately, the Lakers didn&#8217;t have enough firepower to get the win, but Knecht wasn&#8217;t willing to use the Lakers injuries as an excuse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A little bit but also at the same time, we just gotta play Laker basketball at the end of the day,&#8221; Knecht responded when asked if things would&#8217;ve been different. &#8220;We did against Sacramento and we played great, but just fell short today. We&#8217;ll bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is good to see the Lakers embracing this mindset of no excuses regardless of who is suiting up as their opponents won&#8217;t have any mercy when they take the floor against them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"lakers-guard-gabe-vincent-to-miss-2-to-4-weeks-with-ankle-sprain\">Lakers&#8217; guard Gabe Vincent to miss 2-to-4 weeks with ankle sprain<\/h2>\n<p>Because of these injuries, Dalton Knecht could find himself remaining in the Lakers&#8217; rotation going forward.
