The Los Angeles Lakers' preseason game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday was played without LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Cam Reddish. Additionally, the majority of their fan base was likely absent because the Los Angeles Dodgers were playing Game 3 of the NLDS against the Arizona Diamondbacks at the same time.
Russell maintained his impressive performance during the preseason season, scoring 21 points in only 21 minutes on an eight-for-12 shooting and two-for-five three-point shooting performance. He also had eight assists. Vincent scored 15 points on six of 11 attempts and added three assists. In a difficult night for Los Angeles sports fans—the Dodgers fell 4-2 to the D-Backs and were eliminated from the postseason as a result—DLo offered some consolation with his impressive performance.
