The Los Angeles Lakers returned to their practice floor on Monday morning, after winning their first preseason game in Las Vegas on Sunday night, against the Sacramento Kings. Neither Lonzo Ball or Brook Lopez practiced, and will not be available for Tuesday’s game.
Rookie Kyle Kuzma had another solid performance, finishing with 15 points (shooting 50 percent from the field) and eight rebounds, and head coach Luke Walton praised him for being able to recognize his advantages on the floor at such a young age.
However, second-year forward Brandon Ingram continued to struggle, finishing with just five points (1-6), five rebounds and four turnovers.
