That\u2019s been something, for myself, you not only want to instill, but encourage. I think that\u2019s something that\u2019s happening,\u201d said Snyder. \u201cOne of the biggest things he\u2019s given us is a voice, on and off the court. There\u2019s a level of professionalism he brings, a work ethic\u2026 For a young team, with young players, he\u2019s a person you want to play with, to help teach you and help you grow.\u201d<\/p>\n JANUARY 7, 2026 \/ 6:00 ET<\/p>\n Welcome to an 12-game night in the NBA! Luka Don\u010di\u0107 and the Los Angeles Lakers take on Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in the second half of tonight\u2019s ESPN doubleheader.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve got an ESPN doubleheader featuring Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets taking on Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics (7 ET<\/a>), followed by Luka Don\u010di\u0107 and the Los Angeles Lakers traveling to face Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs (9:30 ET<\/a>) for a clash at the top of the Western Conference.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s tonight\u2019s complete schedule:<\/p>\n Toronto Raptors vs. Charlotte Hornets, 7 ET<\/a>
