Lakers Trainer Gunnar Peterson Credits Players For Maintaining Conditioning Without Ability To Play Basketball During NBA Shutdown

Over the next month weks before the resumption of the 2019-20 season at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, Los Angeles Lakers director of strength and endurance training Gunnar Peterson and his staff will have their work cut out for them.

The Lakers have not played a basketball game since March 10 — a loss to the Brooklyn Nets — and will now have until the playoffs begin to get back into game shape.

Although play will begin on July 30 with eight seeding games, the Lakers can really use those as a way of slowly regaining basketball shape.
