Argentina make the most of their downtime in LA by watching LeBron James and the Lakers as the reigning world champions - who are without Lionel Messi - continue to prepare for the Copa America

The Los Angeles Lakers welcomed the Argentina soccer team on Sunday night as the World Cup winners, who are without Lionel Messi, took in some NBA action.

The reigning world champions are preparing for the Copa America this summer, which is due to take place across the USA.

Lionel Scaloni's team beat El Salvador 3-0 in a friendly in Philadelphia on Friday night and are due to play Costa Rica at the LA Coliseum on Tuesday.

The South Americans made the most of some downtime in California though as they took in the Lakers' 150-145 win over the Indiana Pacers at Crypto.
