The Los Angeles Lakers entered Thursday’s game against the Indiana Pacers riding a two-game losing streak. One more loss would match their season-worst losing streak, which came at the beginning of the season when the team started 0-3.
To help snap the losing streak, the Lakers turned to a familiar face; Denzel Washington. Washington is a regular at the Staples Center, sitting courtside during Lakers games. He was the most recent guest speaker that graced the team with their presence.
Throughout the season, general manager Rob Pelinka has guest speakers come and address the team from the world of entertainment and other industries.
