After almost four months off due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Los Angeles Lakers are beginning to ramp things back up for the resumption of the NBA season at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
At 49-14, the Lakers easily held the top record in the Western Conference and were playing their best basketball all season when things got shut down. Although they were fresh off a loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers had just defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and L.A. Clippers in back-to-back games.
While the circumstances will be different in the Orlando “bubble,” the Lakers’ goal of winning the organization’s 17th championship remains.
