Bradley has started each of the Lakers’ six games and had averaged 9.6 points a game coming into Sunday’s contest.

Against the Spurs, he had a strong outing with 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field before exiting the game with 6:14 remaining in the final frame.

Thus far this season, Bradley’s defense on opposing point guards has been key in a Lakers defense that may be emerging as one of the best in the NBA.

The Lakers are already somewhat shorthanded in the backcourt, as veteran Rajon Rondo has yet to play in the regular season due to a calf strain.
