Lakers 2024-25 season player grades: Shake Milton A look back at how guard Shake Milton did this season with the Lakers.

MAY 23 • USATODAY.COM

Muted finish to 2024-25 season Milton averaged 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.7 minutes over 57 games during the 2024-25 regular season.

Impact Milton logged only four total minutes during LA's first round Western Conference playoff series against Minnesota, and he struggled to carve out a role since joining the team at the end of the calendar year. He averaged 3.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 32 games since being traded from the Nets, reaching double figures in the scoring column four times. Milton has suited up for five different teams over his last two seasons, so some stability would presumably benefit his overall development.

Not starting vs. Timberwolves Milton is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The Lakers rested most of their regulars for the regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers on April 13, and while Milton had an impressive performance in that matchup, he'll return to his regular bench role for this postseason opener. Milton had 16 points, two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in the loss to the Trail Blazers, but he will revert to the bench with Luka Doncic starting at point guard.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 16 points in season finale Milton closed Sunday's 109-81 loss to the Trail Blazers with 16 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 43 minutes.

Impact Milton posted a solid line in this regular-season finale, though the only reason why he saw an expanded role was because the regular starters were given an extra day of rest. Milton should have a minimal role off the bench in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, so his fantasy upside will be almost non-existent.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Sunday Milton will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Milton is one of many players for the Lakers that will be in the first unit Sunday that aren't in the normal rotation. The veteran guard has started one game previously this season, finishing with 16 points, 12 assists, three rebounds and one steal for the Nets against the Spurs on Dec. 27.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Sunday Milton will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Milton is one of several players not in the Lakers' usual rotation that will be in the first unit Sunday. The veteran guard has started one other game this season, finishing with 16 points, 12 assists, three rebounds and one steal for the Nets against the Spurs on Dec. 27.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Makes appearance Tuesday Milton had one rebound across two minutes during Tuesday's 136-120 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Milton made a rare appearance in the loss, suiting up for just the second time in the past nine games. With the Lakers trotting out a relatively healthy lineup on a nightly basis, Milton finds himself buried on the depth chart. He has appeared in just nine games over the past month, averaging 2.8 points in 9.4 minutes.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 16 points from bench Milton finished Friday's 131-126 loss to Denver with 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact Milton has filled in aptly amid the Lakers' myriad of absences. The seventh-year pro Jumped up the depth chart due to Gabe Vincent's (knee) absence, and he has the potential to stay where he is in the rotation due to Vincent's recent struggles. Milton will show some flashes while the team is depleted, but he'll face an uphill battle for minutes once Luka Doncic (calf) and Vincent return.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 points Milton accumulated 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 136-115 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Austin Reaves missed his second straight game with a calf issue, but remains day-to-day. Gabe Vincent wasn't able to generate much offense in the first unit, while Milton and Dalton Knecht combined to score 25 points off the bench. Milton will find minutes hard to come by once Reaves is healthy again, however.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Limited role continues Milton closed with one rebound over three minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Milton continues to be used sparingly off the bench for the Lakers, having played fewer than 10 minutes in four of the past five games. The arrival of Luka Doncic basically puts a nail in the coffin when it comes to opportunities for Milton. Barring injuries to other players, he will likely spend the remainder of the season on the fringes of the rotation.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Steps up off bench in victory Milton logged 21 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 134-96 win over Washington.

Impact Milton got extended playing time off the bench Thursday due to the Lakers being a bit shorthanded and due to the nature of the blowout contest, provided a nice offensively lift by finishing as one of three Los Angeles players with 20 or more points. Milton posted his second-highest scoring total of the season, having surpassed the 20-point mark in three outings.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Plays three minutes in win Milton ended with two points (2-2 FT) and three assists over three minutes during Thursday's 117-96 victory over Boston.

Impact Milton received minutes in garbage time following two consecutive DNP's via coach's decision. The 28-year-old has struggled to carve out a role with his new team, and in seven appearances with the Lakers, he has averaged 2.1 points across 8.6 minutes per contest.
