For the second consecutive year, Los Angeles Lakers training camp will take place at the UCLA Health Training Center, which opened prior to the 2017-18 NBA season. Media Day is set for Monday, Sept. 24, with training camp opening Tuesday, Sept. 25.
While the Lakers have previously held some of their training camps in Hawaii or Santa Barbara, this allows them to maximize the facility’s state-of-the-art resources.
With the 2018-19 NBA preseason opener taking place on Sept. 30 against the Denver Nuggets in San Diego, Calif., all of the attention will naturally be on LeBron James, but there will be other interesting storylines as well.
