They say hope springs eternal, but for the Lakers, it was summer that couldn't get here soon enough after a disastrous 2021-22 campaign. And while general manager Rob Pelinka and the rest of the front office are hard at work building out the Lakers roster via NBA free agency, rookies and two-year players prepare for Summer League, which begins for the Lake Show not in Las Vegas, but in San Francisco with the California Classic.
Their first game is Saturday, July 2 at 2 p.m. PDT against the Miami Heat on ESPN2.
