Los Angeles Lakers Team Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers have had a rocky start to their Summer League campaign. In their opener, they were defeated by the Houston Rockets with a score of 99-80. Dalton Knecht, their 17th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, was a standout performer, scoring 25 points.
