Here are the Lakers' statistics:

During the final moments of garbage time, Yang Hansen took the court for a few minutes of back-and-forth running and had a friendly exchange with Lakers forward Timi, whom he had previously competed against in the G League.After the game, Timi spoke about Yang Hansen in an interview, calling him a good kid and congratulating him on playing a solid game in the G League.

On November 17, 2025, Beijing time, Rip City Mix defeated South Bay Lakers 111-113. In this game, Yang Hansen shot 8 of 16, contributing 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks, while Timi scored 27 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, dished out 4 assists, and had 1 steal on 11 of 22 shooting.

Timi was born on September 9, 2000, is a 2.06m tall power forward with a 2.18m wingspan. He scored a total of 2307 points in his NCAA career, ranking first in Gonzaga University’s history. Undrafted in 2023, he spent most of his NBA career in the G League before signing a two-way contract with the Lakers at the end of last November.

Back to the main topic, on the 19th of this month, Rip City Mix will host Memphis Hustle, and the Trail Blazers will play on the road against the Kings.

As is well known, Lowry never plays back-to-back games, so Yang Hansen will most likely not be sent down but will travel with the Trail Blazers to Sacramento.

It is especially worth mentioning thatthe Kings have been in excellent form recently, securing four consecutive wins against the Rockets, Lakers, Knicks, and Wizards, with an average winning margin of 12.3 points per gameduring which the 37-year-old Westbrook has contributed a comprehensive stat line of 82 points, 19 rebounds, and 34 assists.

So despite the Trail Blazers (21-22, ninth in the Western Conference) being a play-in level team, facing the Kings, who are second to last in the West, they cannot be considered guaranteed winners.

Unfortunately, the Kings dug too deep a hole early in the season. Although their recent performance has been fierce, their current record stands at only 12 wins and 30 losses, 6.5 games behind the tenth-place Clippers. Unless they sustain this winning streak for a long time, they will likely miss the play-in tournament.

The NBA trade deadline this year is February 6, and the Kings may make big moves, with several core players already listed for trade.
