The Lakers may have caught an extra wind of energy. It goes beyond daylight savings time ending on early Sunday morning. Coach Byron Scott also reported reducing the length of Sunday’s morning shootaround amid players’ feedback that their fatigue could stem from his overbearing training camp and lengthy practices.

“I’ve played this game before so you can come to me and talk to me about anything,” Scott said Sunday morning at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo. “I’ll take it all into consideration.”

But it remains to be seen how much Scott will adjust his practice time, including whether he reduces his conditioning-heavy drills. It could depend on how the Lakers (0-2) fare when they host the Dallas Mavericks (1-1) on Sunday at Staples Center. That marks two days after the Lakers lost, 132-114 to the Sacramento Kings where they conceded 80 points in the paint.

“It goes both ways too,” Scott said. “If I scale back and you come out with that lack of effort, I’ll go back to having 2 1/2 – 3 hour practices. I think they got the message.”

Or at least Scott hopes they did.

Scott said he feels comfortable shorten his practice regimen for established veterans. For example, Scott told Kobe Bryant to miss Sunday’s morning shootaround after only completing a light shooting workout, one of many approaches the Lakers hope will conserve the 37-year-old Bryant after nursing season-ending injuries for three consecutive seasons. But he scoffed at eliminating morning shootaround or even scheduling an afternoon session before an evening’s game considering the Lakers’ crop of young players and newly arrived veterans.

The Lakers drafted D’Angelo Russell at No. 2 overall this year, while Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson are entering their second years. The Lakers also acquired veterans Roy Hibbert, Brandon Bass and Lou Williams in free agency.

“I like hitting them in the morning with a bunch of information and then hitting them again before the game,” Scott said. “The one thing they can never say is, ‘Coach didn’t have us prepared. He didn’t tell us everything the guy was doing.'”

After the Lakers acquired Scott in a trade from the former San Diego Clippers in 1983, the No. 4 overall pick reporting spending his rookie season trying to emulate the game-day regiment of former Lakers player and general manager Jerry West. Russell, Randle and Clarkson are often seeing completing extra drills with the Lakers’ player development coaches after practices. But Scott openly wondered how well his player prepare for games away from the court.

“I want to see if they can find their way and figure it out,” Scott said. “But I’ll talk to them [soon] about what they do on game day.”
