The Los Angeles Lakers are beginning to compile their roster for August’s NBA Summer League in Las Vegas and look to be bringing back a couple of familiar faces. Among those include Zavier Simpson and Dakota Mathias, who both have brief histories with the Lakers.
Simpson was given an invite to the Lakers Summer League roster last season before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic ultimately cancelled that event. Mathias, on the other hand, was actually with the Lakers Summer League team in 2019. That team featured Zach Novell, Devontae Cacok and Talen Horton-Tucker.
These are just two of the names that have already been reported to join the Lakers when they take the court in Las Vegas from August 8-17, with Yoeli Childs and Vic Law also expected to be on the team, according to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN:
Guard Dakota Mathias, forward Yoeli Childs, forward Vic Law and point guard Zavier Simpson are expected to play on the Lakers summer league team according to a league source.
