Davis come Bryant e West
The former New Orleans player started the season great: it hadn’t happened for 19 years that a yellow-purple player scored at least 30 points in the first two regular season games. The last one to do it? An absolute Lakers legend like Kobe Bryant. Still speaking of legends, the only one before Davis to score at least 35 points in the first two outings was Jerry West in 1969. This is evidence of the impact that the number 3 is having, who against Minnesota had closed the match with 36 points, also seasoned with 16 rebounds and 3 blocks. In short, a factor, just as it is a factor against Phoenix Reaveswho recorded 26 points and 8 assists, while LeBron James scores 21 points and distributes 8 assists. The Chosen One seems to be in great shape and at the end of the match he declares that he intends to play all 82 regular season matches, despite the almost 40 spring games.
Bronny in G League

The class of 2004, after the series of trips that await the Lakers from 28 October to 6 November, will move to the GLeague, so as to have the opportunity to accumulate minutes and grow in the development championship. “Our plan envisaged from the beginning that Bronny would shuttle between the Lakers and the G League – the statements of the yellow and purple GM, Rob Pelinka – I’ve talked about it several times and LeBron has too.”
