The Los Angeles Lakers have looked lost in their last four contests. While there are a lot of factors at play behind their struggles, it doesn't help that Talen Horton-Tucker hasn't looked his best in two games back from health and safety protocols.

Russell Westbrook was asked about THT after the Lakers' latest loss, a 138-110 drubbing at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs.

Via Harrison Faigen:

“He's gonna be fine,” said the Lakers star. “He's a great talent. … I'm not worried about THT at all.”

Talen Horton-Tucker piled on 13 points for the Lakers against San Antonio, but he took 13 shots to do it. However, that was already a marked improvement from his last contest against the Phoenix Suns, when he went a putrid 1-for-13 from the field in arguably the worst game of his young career.

But Russell Westbrook knows a thing or two about volatile play. At this point in his career, the Lakers guard's play teeters between dominant and somewhat disappointing at times. But he also knows that the trick is not to let your previous stumbles linger for the next game.

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to tread water as their roster remains constantly in flux throughout the season. Getting consistently good performances from Talen Horton-Tucker could go a long way in helping stabilize their squad.
