At the brand-new UCLA Health Training Center, there is the players’ lounge and then the Josh Hart lounge.
The former is outfitted with eight TVs, a heap of video-game systems, a pool table and more. But the latter, preferred by the Lakers’ 30th-overall draft pick, is good times with teammates and staffers in the training room.
“We’ve got a beautiful players’ lounge with crazy TVs on it — all of that,” Hart says. “But nah, I’m in the training room.”
Like his fellow Lakers, Hart has been blown away by the Lakers’ new practice facility. For him, it has symbolic contrast to his training site before June’s NBA Draft.
