Rapper and passionate Los Angeles Lakers fan Lil Wayne had a courtside seat behind the baseline for Wednesday’s game at Staples Center. Fresh off going 2-2 on a road trip, the Lakers opened their four-game homestand by hanging on for a 125-118 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
The Lakers improved to 4-1 at home, 7-5 overall, and sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference entering play Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
After Wednesday’s win, Lil Wayne, who was accompanied by his young son, was approached by Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell. There was nothing unusual with the friendly exchange, as Lakers players will often speak with celebrities prior to making their way to the locker room.
