[Saba Sports News] The Los Angeles Lakers fell to 0-2 in the preseason with a 118-114 loss to the Phoenix Suns, but fans are eager to see how new head coach JJ Redick is fine-tuning the team ahead of the season opener on October 22.
Redick aims to start the lineup that went 23-10 last season while giving bench players and rookies valuable preseason minutes.
In a historic moment, LeBron James shared the court with his son, Bronny, marking the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game—even if only in preseason. LeBron’s wife, Savannah, expressed her pride on Instagram, sharing, “I’ve watched A LOT of basketball… This is so special!!”
Bronny, who has shown flashes as a defensive disruptor, went scoreless against the Suns but made some chase-down blocks reminiscent of his father. Redick praised Bronny’s defensive potential, noting his unique abilities for his size. While still undersized at 6’1″, Bronny’s quickness could earn him regular-season minutes alongside Lakers’ first-round pick Dalton Knecht, whom LeBron has labeled NBA-ready.
