The NBA preseason game between the LA Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada on Thursday, October 6 at 10:00 PM ET.
LeBron James and the LA Lakers will play the Minnesota Timberwolves at the T-Mobile Arena for an NBA preseason game on Thursday. The Lakers are not having a good preseason so far as they lost their two games so far. Their first loss at the hands of the Sacramento while they lost their last game 119-115 to the Phoenix Suns.
LeBron James top scored for the Lakers with 23 points and had three rebounds and four assists. He did all that in just 17 minutes in what was an impressive showing. Kendrick Nunn dropped 21 points in 19 minutes and had three rebounds and two assists. Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley started the game and scored 12 and 8 points respectively. Anthony Davis had an issue with his back and was rested, so there is a chance we might see him play this game.
The Minnesota Timberwolves on the other hand had an exceptional first preseason game as they defeated the Miami Heat 121-111. Anthony Edwards had a great game as he top scored with 24 points and also had three rebounds and three assists in the 23 minutes that he played. Bryn Forbes dropped 15 points while Nathan Knight and Jaylen Nowell scored 14 points each.
The trio of D’Angelo Russell, Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert did not feature with various issues. There is however hope that Russell and Gobert will play this game. Towns will be out for a bit longer as he is recovering from a throat infection that had him hospitalized.
