Sacre (coach's decision) didn't play in Tuesday's 92-90 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Sacre doesn't typically see the floor in competitive games, so it's not surprising to see him ride the pine in a two-point loss. He's appeared in just three of the Lakers' 14 games in January.

Sacre totaled 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds (three offensive), one steal, and one block across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 120-85 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
After playing just two minutes in Tuesday's narrow win over the Nuggets, Sacre saw a huge boost in playing time when Wednesday's contest quickly turned into a blowout in the third quarter. Starting center Roy Hibbert has been playing terribly of late, but given the investment the Lakers have in him, Sacre isn't likely to join the top unit at any point this season.

Sacre tallied 9 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 19 minutes of floor time Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Sacre rejoined the Lakers' rotation Sunday against Detroit, and since then he's averaged 16 minutes per game. That being said, Sacre simply isn't a big enough part of the Lakers offense to be relied upon for fantasy production. He's averaging 4.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and .8 assists so far this season.

Sacre was unable to see any action Wednesday when the Lakers lost to Orlando 101-99.
EDGE Analysis
The backup center has appeared in just one game for Los Angeles this year, and it was for only four minutes. Sacre is coming off a season in 2014-15 where he was a major piece for the Lakers lineup having started 18 of the 67 games he played. However, this year he hasn't seen much of a role at all, and it's hard to tell if this is going to improve or not as he's currently behind Roy Hibbert and Tarik Black on the depth chart.

Sacre collected five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and grabbed four rebounds off the bench in Monday's win over Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Sacre will likely open the season as the Lakers' fourth center behind newcomers Roy Hibbert and Brandon Bass, as well as Tarik Black. While Sacre did see 16.9 minutes per game in the 2014-15 season, he'll be hard-pressed to find a similar workload this coming year. Even with considerable playing time he hasn't been much of an offensive threat in his career to this point, averaging just 4.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

Sacre is expected to have his team option for the 2015-16 season picked up by the Lakers, Shams Charania of RealGM reports.
While Sacre is probably an eighth or ninth man, at best, he proved to be a valuable rotation piece last season while earning praise for his attitude and defensive abilities. Sacre averaged just 4.6 points and 3.5 rebounds, but he was called the team's hardest worker and best defender by former coach Mike D'Antoni. Bringing the 60th pick in the 2012 draft back won't cost the Lakers much, as Sacre's deal is guaranteed for only $981,348 in 2015-16.

Sacre appeared in a career-high 67 games for the Lakers this season and finished with averages of 4.6 points and 2.2 rebounds over 17 minutes. This season was his last under a guaranteed contract, and the Lakers will have to decide if they want to exercise their 2015-16 team option for Sacre this offseason.
Sacre saw more court time this season than any other, as he benefit from being part of an underperforming Laker's frontcourt. His most productive stretch came in the month of March, where he averaged a season-high 22 minutes and scored in double figures in five of 10 games over the course of the month. But, overall, Sacre proved to be rather ineffective on offense for the most part, as he shot just 41 percent from the field for the season despite most of his shots taking place near the rim. Now, while the Lakers may exercise Sacre's team option just so they can have frontcourt depth for a cheap price, there is a chance they do not, and Sacre may struggle to find work this offseason if that is the case.

Sacre will move to the bench for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Sacre will give way to Tarik Black at center Sunday. Coach Byron Scott has changed his starting lineup many times over the course of the season so it's entirely possible for Sacre to get back into the starting lineup down the road.

Sacre (foot) registered six points, one assist, and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Sacre was dealing with a sore foot ahead of Wednesday's game against the Jazz but still managed to take the court. He seems to be the starting center for coach Byron Scott moving forward, even though Sacre is a limited option who has averaged just 22.6 minutes on the court over his past 10 games.

Sacre (foot) will start Wednesday's game at Utah.
Sacre was questionable entering the contest as a result of a sore foot, but he'll nonetheless remain in the starting lineup. In his previous nod Sunday, he was limited to 11 minutes, during which he didn't score on 0-for-2 from the floor, while recording two boards and one assist. Note, though, that he's averaged 24 minutes in his 12 previous nods this season.
