The Los Angeles Lakers were in plenty of headlines during the annual break that coincided with the 2022 NBA All-Star Game, despite having only one player participating in all of the events during the weekend. Coincidentally, they were in the headlines because of that one player, as LeBron James’ camp and the Lakers butted heads through the media.
But it seems as if all of the drama with has subsided for now, just in time for the Lakers’ first game back on the court. That game will be against a familiar foe, as they will host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.
