As the NBA season approaches the new year for the Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA All-Star Break is right around the corner. This season, the festivities will be in Los Angeles, and it will certainly be a fun time for everyone involved.
While getting a player in the actual All-Star Game is extremely unlikely for the Lakers, they should be well-represented throughout the weekend. Generally, players from the host city are in the various contests, as local fans get a chance to root for their favorite players from the team.
Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma will almost certainly be playing in the Rising Stars game on Friday night, but he also hopes to be in the 3-point shootout on Saturday night.
