LA Lakers returning to Palm Springs, Las Vegas for 2024 preseason

While the 2023-24 season didn’t go as hoped following a first-round playoff exit, another season of the Lake Show is just around the corner. 

The Los Angeles Lakers released their full preseason schedule, which features two games in the Palm Springs area and one in Las Vegas

While star players don't typically put in a lot of minutes during preseason games, fans who didn't make it to Summer League could get their first chance to see Lakers rookies Bronny James and Dalton Knecht in action.
