The Los Angeles Lakers got past the Sacramento Kings in their NBA preseason opener, with Luka Doncic scoring 21 points in just 16 minutes on the floor. The team also debuted a new defensive scheme in the win.
Bronny James drew attention with a standout highlight play, with fans quickly labeling him the "Prince of LA." Ziaire Williams also made an impression, pushing his case for a place in the first unit. The health of one $19 million signing is still uncertain as the preseason gets underway.
