Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Sees three minutes in loss
Vanderbilt finished Monday's 115-110 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound over three minutes.
After suffering a finger injury in Game 1, Vanderbilt made his second appearance of the series in Monday's Game 4. He played a very minor role for the Lakers in the regular season, posting averages of 4.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 17.4 minutes across 65 appearances.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Logs three minutes
Thiero produced zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over three minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Los Angeles' second-round rookie was used sparingly by the Lakers in 2025-26, logging a total of 25 regular-season appearances for an average of 6.0 minutes per contest. Depending on how many changes the team makes this offseason, Thiero could be in a better spot to compete for minutes in 2026-27.

Lakers' Luke Kennard: Quiet in Game 4 loss
Kennard notched five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Kennard certainly had some positive moments in the playoffs, stepping up for the injured Luka Doncic (hamstring). The veteran sharpshooter is now set to hit the open market as a free agent, where he will likely garner plenty of interest. Across 78 regular-season contests, Kennard averaged 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Huge workload in loss
Smart finished Monday's 115-110 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with five points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes.
Due to the absence of Luka Doncic (hamstring), Smart played a massive role in the postseason for the Lakers. As for the regular season, injuries limited Smart to 62 appearances. In those games, he shot 39.5 percent from the field with averages of 9.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.5 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Held in check
Ayton logged six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
This was a disappointing end to Ayton's first season in Los Angeles. As for the regular season, Ayton logged 72 appearances as the starting center, posting averages of 12.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.6 steals on 67.1 percent shooting from the field. The big man will be heading into the final year of his contract in 2026-27.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Strong effort off bench in Game 4
Hayes logged 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's 115-110 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The 25-year-old center was the only member of the Lakers' second unit to score in double digits in the season-ending loss -- the rest of the team's bench managed just five points combined. It was Hayes's best scoring effort of the playoffs, and he heads into free agency this offseason having averaged 7.5 points, 4.1 boards, 0.9 assists and 0.8 blocks in 18.3 minutes over 66 regular-season contests.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Hits for 25 in season-ending loss
Hachimura notched 25 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 43 minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
It was Hachimura's best scoring effort of the playoffs, but it wasn't enough to keep the Lakers' season alive as they got swept out of the second round. The 28-year-old forward averaged 17.5 points, 4.0 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.5 combined steals and blocks over 10 games this postseason while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor and 56.9 percent from beyond the arc, a strong performance that should only boost his value on the open market as he heads into free agency.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Drops team-high 27 in Game 4 loss
Reaves racked up 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 43 minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The 27 points led the Lakers on the night, but it wasn't quite enough to keep their season alive as they got swept out of the second round. Reaves looked fully healthy over the last three games, averaging 25.0 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.3 threes in 40.0 minutes while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor, and the 27-year-old guard's usage could get a boost in 2026-27 if LeBron James elects to call it a career, leaving the keys to the offense in the hands of Reaves and Luka Doncic (hamstring).

Lakers' LeBron James: Double-doubles in Game 4 defeat
James supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes in Monday's 115-110 Game 4 loss to the Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals.
James scored 14 of his 24 points in the second half and finished as Los Angeles' third-leading scorer in Monday's season-ending loss. The superstar also dominated on the glass, grabbing a game- and series-best 12 rebounds en route to his third double-double of the postseason. After being swept by the Thunder in the second round of the playoffs, the 41-year-old will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason. He averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks in 33.2 minutes per contest across 60 regular-season games in 2025-26, and he still appears to have plenty left in the tank if he decides to play next season.
