It\u2019s a bizarre choice, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverscreenandroll.com\/lakers-news\/126868\/lakers-training-camp-notebook-chris-manon-matisse-thybulle-bronny-james\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one that head coach JJ Redick doesn\u2019t seem to love<\/a>, but it will give fans plenty to digest in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It also means, however, that there will very likely not be full rosters available for any of these games. In previous preseasons, the team has played their superstars in just one of the three games. With a younger team looking to build chemistry, perhaps that changes. But there is a precedent of how things could play out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Still, starting on Monday, we\u2019ll have our first chance to see lots of new players donning the purple and gold for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At last, the Lakers will play their first preseason game on Monday against the Kings in Sacramento.
