The Los Angeles Lakers play the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers made their 2022 preseason debut on Monday at Crypto.com Arena versus the Sacramento Kings. Although L.A. lost, 105-75, it showed some reasons for hope and optimism. Its regulars played fairly well in the first half, especially on the defensive end.
Of note was the play of Anthony Davis, who had 11 rebounds in 16 minutes, and forward Wenyen Gabriel, who put up 10 rebounds and four blocked shots.
The Suns, coming off a playoff collapse against the Dallas Mavericks and the turmoil surrounding owner Robert Sarver, are looking to regain their mojo and make a run at the NBA title.
