LeBron James Makes his Lakers Preseason Debut

It’s real folks. LeBron James is officially a part of the Los Angeles Lakers in the purple and gold. Yes, we knew he signed with the franchise earlier this summer but it feels more real when he’s actually on the court in that iconic jersey.

Though it was just a preseason game and his minutes were limited, we got a preview of what the Lake Show are going to get this season with the young core.

In 15 minutes, James had 9 points and 3 assists, dishing out some pretty ones to Brandon Ingram and making his first points in a Lakers uniform a deep 3-pointer.

L.A. ended up losing to the Denver Nuggets tonight, but there’s still things to work out with the team. Players need to gel and get used to running with one another, they have to get back in shape and the Lakers will have to see which lineups work the best. So far, they showed flashes of what they could do. They still need work, though.

Peep the highlights from LeBron’s first game with the Lakers above if you didn’t watch the game on ESPN earlier.
