Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and president of basketball operations Magic Johnson were both on the committee to make it happen, and with the new football stadium opening in Inglewood in 2020 Los Angeles now has all the state-of-the-art facilities to host the games.
Additionally, the Los Angeles Lakers new practice facility in El Segundo, the UCLA Health Training Center was recently built.
In a recent interview with Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet about the facility, Buss said she envisions it to be used as a training center for Team USA leading up to and during the 2028 Olympics:
“The big announcement was that Los Angeles is going to host the Olympics in 2028, and this may be the training center for Team USA for when they are preparing for the Olympics.
