Here is what you need to know before the Lakers open up their preseason against the Denver Nuggets.
1) The King is ready for his entrance
The greatest player on the planet will make his Lakers debut in San Diego. LeBron James will be in the starting lineup, though his playing time has yet to be determined.
James’ presence has been a rarity in the preseason, as he has played only six exhibitions over the past three years, including just a single one last season.
During those last three preseasons, he has averaged 22 minutes per game.
