The Lakers first preseason game! Four players are confirmed to be absent, James does not play, and Doncic makes a slimming appearance

On October 3, the NBA preseason has begun, and all teams are actively preparing for the Lakers' first game against the Suns. Before the game, the Lakers have confirmed that four players will be absent. Among them, including James, Doncic, who has lost weight, is expected to appear in the Lakers and will lead the team to the first victory of the preseason.

In an interview after training, Lakers coach Redick revealed that the team is still evaluating the lineup arrangement for the first preseason game, and it is also confirmed that James, Smart, Kleber and Adu Diiero will be absent. As for whether other players are absent, it is estimated that they will have to wait for the start of the game to confirm. However, in the first game, the Lakers simply looked at the players' status. It is unlikely to get the lineup together, after all, the staff is not intact.

James probably only played a preseason game. He is 40 years old and doesn't need this game to find his state and know how to improve himself. He has not conducted confrontational training yet because of a hip injury, but he has not suffered much impact. For James, the pressure on the new season is quite high. The outside world even speculates that this may be the last season of his career, or the last season of his Lakers' career. After all, he has implemented the player option this summer and will become a free agent next year.

James doesn't play, and Doncic is still possible. After all, his physical condition is very good now, and Lakers fans also want to witness Doncic after losing weight. Doncic has made up his mind to lose weight this summer and successfully lost his weight. He had played in the European Men's Basketball Team before, but now he is focusing on preparing for the new season. His performance will also be the focus of attention from the outside world.

In addition, the Suns also announced that Jaylen Green will miss the game due to injury and his debut will be postponed. The Suns also made major adjustments this summer. Farewell to the era of Big Three, Durant was traded to the Rockets and reached a buyout with Bill. Booker will be led by the team in the new season. The Suns are no longer optimistic now, and they can only compete for the playoffs at most, just to see if they can bring some surprises.
