After months of waiting, the 2019-20 season will make its long-awaited return after the NBA and NBPA approved a 22-team competitive format to be implemented within a bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of those 22 teams and find themselves in a fortunate position given that they will get the opportunity to compete for the 2020 NBA championship. The Lakers are considered a favorite to come away with the title, smashing any preseason predictions or expectations.
In Orlando, the Lakers will play eight regular-season games for seeding purposes.
