“This thing is going to be a marathon and we need him to be available and healthy. We’re not going to try to play hero and force him to be out here for Game 2 of a preseason game. “I saw a great deal of carry over from our film session we had this morning, great improvement from Game 1 to Game 2 of the preseason, just a focus to do the little things,” said Darvin Ham. “We pinpointed some stuff defensively off the ball, in the pick and roll that we wanted to improve. continued to play well in the third quarter despite sitting the vets, holding a six-point edge after three, before Ham went to the rookie-heavy group that eventually lost the lead to the rookie-less Suns. LeBron was just as good in the second quarter, reaching 23 points by hitting three more shots, including two of his three triples, helping carry the Lakers to a 69-62 edge at the break.

The Los Angeles Lakers look for their first preseason win against the Minnesota Timberwolves as Lonnie Walker IV makes his debut.

It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! After a coming out party in last year’s playoffs, Edwards is someone who can make a major leap in his third NBA season and he led the Timberwolves with 24 points in their preseason opener. With Westbrook, James, Davis and others all out, this will allow Ham to get a closer look at those role players and help to solidify his rotation once the regular season begins.

Lakers: No injury report was released, but Lonnie Walker IV (left ankle sprain), Troy Brown Jr. Many are intrigued about how he will fit in with fellow star big man Karl-Anthony Towns in the T-Wolves’ revamped frontcourt.

Not the case, and we find him in a situation of initiating some jawing with Ant and D-Lo for a 9 P.M. After the Gobert move, the logical thought was Beverley would be making a return trip to Target Center in a Utah Jazz uniform early in the season. In addition to the potential soft launch of the Wolves refurbished pick and roll game, Patrick Beverley will informally be facing his former team for the first time.

So, once he gets here, we'll be able to throw him right into the deep end of the pool and see how he responds. It is yet to be determined whether Schroder will be able to join the team for the trip, sources said. He had an issue with his worker visa that delayed his trip to the U.S.

We've got a positive update on the status of prodigal Los Angeles Lakers combo guard Dennis Schröder! Schröder and his team have finally sussed out the work ...

He also netted an individual accolade, being [named](https://www.si.com/nba/lakers/news/dennis-schroder-leads-germany-to-eurobasket-bronze-ak1987) to the All-EuroBasket Tournament Team. While playing with the Celtics and Houston Rockets last year, he averaged 13.5 points, 4.6 assists (plus 2.2 turnovers), 3.3 rebounds, and 0.8 steals a night. He posted averages of 22.1 points (with a .451/.321/.907 slash line), 7.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals through the competition. He connected on 85.3% of his 2.9 free throws a night, and nailed 43.1% of his field goals. McMenamin adds that, as of now, it is unclear whether or not the 6'3" vet will arrive in time for L.A.'s next preseason game, a Sunday matinee road contest against the reigning champion Golden State Warriors.

Lakers guard Dennis Schröder will fly into Los Angeles this weekend after issues with his Visa have been resolved, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

He averaged 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 64 games last season. So once he gets here, we’ll be able to throw him right into the deep end of the pool and see how he responds. The Lakers have lost each of their first two preseason games. The 29-year-old was signed to provide some depth behind starting point guard Russell Westbrook. He’s doing the best he can to stay in rhythm and to stay in shape. Schröder, who is from Germany, has been unable to participate in Lakers training camp while working on Visa issues in his native country.

But he’s still going to remain a hyper active big man with a lot of energy and is going to be hard to keep off the floor in that case. Keep that in mind when you see him do this. Thomas Bryant had his longest run so far on Thursday and showed he can provide that same level of energy and effort. Look, there wasn’t a lot else to take away from this game. Bryant was part of that strong start early on with an and-one. He tallied 18 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes. And there’s absolute no way we’re putting together a recap, so here’s a look at some of those bright moments.

There were bright moments sparingly, but it’s a preseason back-to-back.

The outcome of this game was mostly written ahead of time, with the Wolves near full strength (missing only Karl-Anthony Towns among rotation players) while ...

Redick was in Philadelphia, to be clear, but some of the ways he moved without the ball and came off hand-offs reminded me of the actions Philly would run for Redick. I was skeptical he would see real minutes coming into the season, but I am starting to come around to him being the “break glass in case of emergency” form of instance offense and shooting off the bench. If they commit to being better on the glass, rebounding could quickly go from a weakness to a strength for the Wolves. It will likely take some time for the Wolves to figure out how exactly they want to incorporate Gobert’s individual offense into the team, evidenced by a couple awkward lobs/passes by teammates tonight, but the one connection that looks ready from day one is with Jordan McLaughlin. A couple of things were immediately noteworthy with Gobert on the floor. The talent disparity was still glaring the entire night, which speaks to the depth that Minnesota has on the roster this season.

The shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers took on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Las Vegas and were blown out to fall to 0-3.

Both teams got off to a sloppy start in the third quarter. It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! in the first quarter with six points each, expanding the lead to 17-9. One of the only Lakers with NBA experience, Lonnie Walker IV, was making his team debut after sitting out the first two preseason games due to an ankle injury. Christie then had a thunderous putback dunk that got the T-Mobile Arena crowd on its feet. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves played all of their main guys outside of Karl-Anthony Towns, who remains out with an illness.
