After a quick trip to Sacramento, where this year’s summer Lakers team lost both their California Classic exhibition games, the team heads to Las Vegas for the annual NBA Summer League tournament from Jul. 7 to 17.
A square-off against the Golden State Warriors summer squad will be the first agenda on the Lakers’ Las Vegas itinerary. After the Warriors, the purple and gold will battle the Charlotte Hornets, rivals Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies in the following days after.
For the Lakers to win the Summer League championship, they’ll have to at least be one of the four best teams during the exhibition round and then eliminate each one of their opponents in the final four tournament.
