Luke Walton to Try Out His Dad’s Old Gig

Well, this is certainly one way to pass the time while he recovers from injury: “Injured Lakers forward Luke Walton is temporarily giving up his seat on the bench for a seat behind a microphone. Walton, sidelined for three more weeks as a result of a pinched nerve in his lower back, will fill in for Lakers radio analyst Mychal Thompson on Friday when the team hosts Minnesota and on Saturday when it travels to Utah. Thompson will miss both games as a result of a death in the family.”
