The Lakers face the Suns in their second preseason game of the 2021-22 season, with tipoff scheduled for 3 p.m. on Spectrum SportsNet.
Below are three things to know ahead of the matchup:
WHO’S IN, WHO’S OUT
OUT: LeBron James (rest), Russell Westbrook (rest) and Trevor Ariza (ankle)
IN: Everybody else
Frank Vogel told us after Tuesday’s practice that LeBron and Westbrook wouldn’t yet make their debut this preseason at Phoenix, though he didn’t rule them out for Friday’s contest at Golden State. However, Anthony Davis will play, and Carmelo Anthony will make his Lakers preseason debut after resting in the opener on Sunday against Brooklyn.
