ONTARIO >> The pieces appear to come together with every moment the Lakers play together.
Kobe Bryant has continued shedding off his rustiness. Julius Randle has continued exerting his dominance. Jordan Clarkson has continued showcasing his growth.
Yet, the Lakers have still lacked two things through exhibition play.
They have yet to pick up a win, the Lakers’ 105-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors Thursday at Citizens Business Bank Arena marking their third consecutive loss in preseason play. The Lakers also do not have a fully healthy lineup.
The results from an MRI and CT scan showed Lakers forward Brandon Bass has a bone bruise in his left knee, leaving his status as day-to-day.
