Lakers Preseason Updates
The Los Angeles Lakers will play Luka Doncic in two preseason games, while Marcus Smart will make his debut against the Golden State Warriors.
After a week off, the Lakers will return to the court on Sunday night, hosting the Warriors at Crypto.com Arena. Their final four preseason games will be played over the next week, concluding with a regular season opener against the Warriors at home.
The team has been cautious with Luka Doncic, following his EuroBasket run with Slovenia, and has also dealt with minor injuries to Marcus Smart, Maxi Kleber, and Adou Thiero, who have all missed the first two preseason games.
The Lakers aim to build chemistry with their time on the court together before the regular season begins.
