GAME LOG

INJURIES

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.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
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.
JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Little impact in win Milton logged four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and three rebounds over 16 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Much like Dorian Finney-Smith, Milton hasn't made much of an impact in Los Angeles since being traded to the Lakers. In two games with his new team, he has shot 4-for-9 from the floor, scoring 10 points, grabbing five rebounds and no assists.
JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Set for Lakers debut Milton will make his debut with the Lakers against the Cavaliers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact After being traded to the Lakers recently, Milton is set to make his debut for Los Angeles on Monday. Milton could see a decent amount of minutes off the bench with his new team to help fill the void left by D'Angelo Russell, who heads to Brooklyn as result of the trade.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • SACBEE.COM
Shipped to Lakers The Nets traded Milton and Dorian Finney-Smith to the Lakers on Sunday in exchange for D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Milton had been playing well for the Nets, averaging 11.2 points, 3.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 24.5 minutes across his past 15 appearances, including a 16-point, 12-assist double-double against the Spurs on Friday during his first start of the season. However, the veteran guard is looking at a reduced role in Los Angeles, as he'll likely compete with Gabe Vincent for backup minutes behind Austin Reaves, Max Christie, Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish. Milton's first chance to make his Lakers debut will come Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Posts double-double Friday Milton notched 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 96-87 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Milton made his first start of the season Friday due to the absence of Ben Simmons (lower back injury management), and the journeyman responded by notching a double-double. The 12 dimes were a season-high mark for Milton, and the veteran is riding a solid stretch of play with double-digit points in five of his previous seven appearances, including a season-high 20-point output in the Dec. 26 win over the Bucks.
DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Erupts for 20 points in win Milton had 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 victory over Milwaukee.
Impact Milton delivered his second-highest mark in scoring of the season in an efficient outing Thursday. The 28-year-old has received an uptick in playing time of late, and over his last 10 appearances, he has averaged 10.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 22.9 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Invisible in loss Milton closed with four points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 110-95 loss to the Heat.
Impact Milton had a nightmare showing in the loss after two straight games with double-digit points. Despite this dud, Milton is someone that deep-league fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on with the Nets rumored to be looking to unload Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith (calf).
DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Could see larger role Milton supplied five points (2-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 130-101 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact With Dennis Schroder now in Los Angeles, Milton moves up the depth chart by default and will have the opportunity to lock down the backup point guard minutes. He's played well in a limited role so far this season, hitting 45.5 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 6.2 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 16.4 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Pops for 22 points in loss Milton provided 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 123-100 loss to the Magic.
Impact Milton scored a season-high 22 points, playing at least 20 minutes for the fourth straight game. The Nets are dealing with a few injuries at the moment, presenting Milton with an unexpected opportunity. As long as they are running with limited backcourt resources, Milton could continue to play a meaningful role, albeit off the bench.
NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Plays 12 minutes in win Milton had five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Monday's 106-104 victory over the Grizzlies.
Impact Through seven appearances, this was Milton's third time seeing minutes in the double digits. He's facing an uphill battle for playing time on a nightly basis, and he remains well off the fantasy radar in most formats for the foreseeable future.
