The Lakers and the Suns are set to aim for their second victory of the new NBA season as they face off at the Crypto.com Arena this Friday night.
This matchup marks the third encounter between these two Western Conference rivals in just three weeks, with each team having claimed a win in their two preseason games against each other.
LeBron James and his son Bronny made history by becoming the first father-son duo to share the court together in a regular season NBA matchup in the Los Angeles Lakers’ season-opening win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Bronny, who like many rookies is not anticipated to see significant floor time this season, grabbed a rebound in his three minutes of action while LeBron contributed 16 points in the Lakers’ 110-103 win.
The Phoenix Suns emerged victorious in a thrilling season opener, securing a 116-113 overtime win against the Los Angeles Clippers during their game at the newly constructed Intuit Dome on Wednesday night.
