The Los Angeles Lakers are bringing their 8-28 record to Sacramento for a matchup with the Kings. While neither franchise is at the level they were during the height of their rivalry in the early 2000’s, fans still relish the opportunity to take on their old foe.
Kobe Bryant will return to the Lakers lineup after missing the last three games to rest a shoulder injury, and will be making the final Sacramento appearance of his legendary career. Kings fans have always enjoyed booing Bryant, and it will be interesting to see what kind of reaction they have for their former tormentor on his farewell tour.
The Lakers will also be getting rookie D’Angelo Russell back, who missed the previous game due to a sore throat.
The Lakers and Kings played at the end of October in a game that saw Sacramento come away with an easy win, so can the Lakers return the favor?
