The Los Angeles Lakers will meet the Golden State Warriors for a preseason tilt that promises to test the team’s young core. The Warriors are the reigning NBA champions, and Stephen Curry and company will be looking to fine-tune things before heading into the regular season. The Lakers will be without both Kobe Bryant (calf contusion) and Lou Williams (sore groin), which means that D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, and Nick Young will have to step up and take on some of the scoring load. The Warriors will be without Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut, and Harrison Barnes. With a preseason record that sits at a paltry 1-4, the Lakers are hoping to pick up a win, but will have their work cut out for them.
Check out the highlights below:
