They wound up selecting four total players with Nick Smith Jr., James Nnaji and Amari Bailey being taken from late-first to mid-second rounds, which should make for a quality Summer League roster. L.A.’s second game will come against the Hornets, who drafted Brandon Miller out of Alabama second overall. That means that college teammates in Jackson-Davis and Hood-Schifino will be squaring off in the Las Vegas opener. They then kick off the Las Vegas Summer League against the Warriors, who drafted Brandin Podziemski out of Santa Clara 19th overall and then traded to draft Indiana big man Trayce Jackson-Davis with the 57th pick. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama suits up in that second game. The Lakers will kick off the Summer League with two games in the California Classic in Sacramento against the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs.

We’ll see if they can keep this going when they host a very good Miami Heat team on Wednesday, with tip-off at 7:30 p.m. Though the LeBron James-less Lakers’ flaws were still on full display, getting a win against a Hornets team with a dangerous young core can hopefully provide the momentum boost this squad desperately needs, as the victory moves L.A. The Lakers went up for good when Anthony hit his seventh three-pointer of the night, sending the Staples Center crowd into a frenzy. Even though he was throwing up during the third quarter and clearly feeling the cold he’s been dealing with for a few days, he wasn’t going to let the Lakers lose this one. Russell Westbrook doesn’t regret technical foul against Hornets, says referee was talking to him like a ‘child’īut the Lakers regained their composure in overtime as Davis completely took over, hitting a step-back jumper, a baseline turnaround and blocking two shots on the Hornets’ final possessions. The Hornets tied it on a Miles Bridges three-pointer, and Davis missed a chance for a game-winner on the ensuing possession. Westbrook then turned the ball over three times over the next few possessions and missed a free throw that would have potentially iced the game. The Lakers also lost their cool late in the fourth when Anthony and Westbrook were both handed back-to-back technicals for arguing a call, allowing the Hornets to score five points on a single possession to help make up their late deficit. The offense clearly hummed better with Rondo in the game than with Westbrook, and although Rondo finished with the ludicrous stat line of 0 points, 12 minutes, 8 assists and one flagrant, it’s hard to imagine the Lakers collapsing quite as dramatically if he had been able to stay on the court for a tad longer. ![]() That meant that Westbrook returned as the Lakers’ only eligible point guard, and though he finally secured his first triple-double as a Laker at 17 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists, he also had seven turnovers and was a -17 on the night, letting the Hornets back into the game late. Unfortunately for the Lakers, Rondo would ultimately be ejected early in the fourth quarter after being called for a Flagrant 2 foul on Terry Rozier.
