After a disappointing exit in the quarterfinals of the then NBA Developmental League playoffs, the newly-named South Bay Lakers return with a revamped roster along with a few familiar faces.
“We’re really excited about this group,” said head coach Coby Karl. “There’s a lot of youth, a lot of excitement, a lot of energy so it will be fun to see what we can put out there.”
South Bay returns just three players from last year’s Los Angeles D-Fenders roster: Travis Wear, Andre Ingram and Vander Blue, who enters his fourth season with the organization after earning a two-way contract.
