After Los Angeles Lakers All-Star LeBron James gave Luka Doncic a quarterback endorsement after a recent win, Deandre Ayton expressed frustration over JJ Redick's led offense following a 120-114 win against the Memphis Grizzlies. Redick revealed Ayton, who finished with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting, was frustrated over his limited touches in the win.

Ayton addressed the topic during his postgame media availability, per ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

“I mean we're winning the right way. Bigs can’t feed themselves,” Ayton said. “I just try my best do what I can to bring effort, and I trust my playmakers out there to find me.”

Luka Doncic's 36 points on 10-of-20 attempts, including four threes, and 12-of-13 free throws led the Lakers' offense. He also had nine rebounds, and eight assists. LeBron James finished with 26 points on 8-of-14 attempts, including a pair of threes, 10 assists, and seven rebounds. Deandre Ayton added 15 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks for the Lakers.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick discussed his team's recent offensive struggles of late, as his team isn't always executing plays called during a game. The Lakers head coach says it's a continuous pattern that's occured throughout the holiday season.

Redick hopes it won't continue to happen throughout the Lakers' regular season, he said, as ESPN's Dave McMenamin noted.

“I don’t know what else to do. It’s just like that’s happening so consistently right now,” Redick said. “I chalk it up to the holidays.”

The Lakers will face the Pelicans on Tuesday.
