Browsing: Lakers training camp
Saturday’s Lakers practice report: JJ Redick calls two-way guard Chris Mañon fantastic and says two-way redundancy raises the ceiling, Bronny James embraces a vocal point guard role, Matisse Thybulle leaves starting decisions to the coaches, Walker Kessler works on 3s, and availability for Sacramento is still TBD.
The Lakers preseason opener is Monday at 7 p.m. PT in Sacramento. Where the 16-for-15 roster crunch stands, why Dalton Knecht’s status is still unresolved, the injury and back-to-back watch, the open starting jobs, a Pooh Jeter front-office hire and a scout of the 22-60 Kings.
Lakers training camp Day 3 brought the first extended scrimmage, Redick’s praise for Dalton Knecht amid reports he could be waived, a mid-scrimmage timeout to teach rookie Cam Carr, unnamed limited players listed as TBD for Sacramento, and LaRavia calling it the best camp of his career.
Lakers training camp Day 2 got so physical JJ Redick cut practice short. The wings drew a ‘line of confrontation,’ Reaves says Thybulle and Williams are hard to score on, Luka and Reaves are being kept apart on purpose, and Redick admits he once felt like he was cosplaying.
JJ Redick opened Lakers training camp by declaring a meritocracy, laid out three camp goals, confirmed assistant Bob Beyer’s retirement, praised Sandro Mamukelashvili as an offensive connector and reported no health concerns.
