The Los Angeles Lakers will open the preseason tonight against the Phoenix Suns at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.
While it’s unlikely that LeBron James and Luka Doncic will play, the game will serve as an opportunity for the Lakers’ younger players to get some time in, including second-year players Bronny James and Dalton Knecht.

The Suns added some new players to the roster this offseason, including Jalen Green. Green was acquired in a trade that sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. Green will not be available after suffering a low-grade hamstring strain during training camp.
