- In his debut on the 5th against the Warriors, Taylor scored six points in 15 minutes. He went 2-for-3 from three-point range, knocking down his first-career attempt. Taylor also added an assist and was one of four Lakers that had a plus-rating while on the court.
- Against the Miami Heat on July 6th, Taylor was on the floor for three minutes. He made the most of his time on the court, recording an assist and grabbing a rebound.
