The will reach the halfway point of their preseason schedule on Wednesday when they meet the Kings in Anaheim on Wednesday at 7 p.m. PT. LeBron James won’t play in the contest — the second time through the opening three games he has sat — but the Lakers still have plenty of steps to continue to take.
Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell have both looked fantastic throughout the opening two games. The former has accepted, for now, the challenge of his head coach by putting up more outside shots and finding success in doing so. The latter has hit the ground running after his underwhelming preseason.
