The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings in their NBA preseason opener, with Luka Doncic scoring 21 points in just 16 minutes on the floor. The team also rolled out a new defensive scheme in the win.
Bronny James caught eyes with a standout highlight play, with fans quickly dubbing him the "Prince of LA." Ziaire Williams also caught attention, pushing his case for a spot in the starting five. The health of one $19 million signing remains a question as the preseason gets underway.
