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 unveiled a new defensive scheme in the win.
Bronny James turned heads 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 starting forward role. The health of one $19 million signing remains a question as the preseason gets underway.
