Austin Reaves looked like an All-Star before the injury last season. I really think this is the year he finally gets the recognition he deserves 🔥💪

Adou Thiero on building chemistry with Cam Carr:

“I feel like we’ve just been pushing each other. I’m helping him out with some of the tips I found out and letting him know those things early. I didn’t really have someone to tell me that during Summer League, so I’m just trying to share some of the things I learned throughout last year and give him those thoughts early.” (@LakersNation)

CHEMISTRY 🧪🔥

Kevon Looney on Kobe Bryant:

“I was a big Kobe guy. That’s my favorite player. My favorite moment was when the Lakers beat Boston in the 2010 Finals after losing to them before. Being on the court when Kobe’s jerseys were retired was also a surreal moment. It brought back all the memories of watching him as a kid.” (@LakersNation)

Collin Sexton on playing alongside Luka Dončić:

“Luka is a tremendous player. He’s one of those guys who thinks the game two or three steps ahead. Whatever he needs from us, we’ve got to be able to pick it up and give him energy. When you have guys around him who can shoot, get to the paint, and make plays, it makes him even tougher to guard. Then they are forced to play Dončić one-on-one down the stretch, and there are very few who can contain him in that setting.” (@LakersNation)

Luka Dončić has been living in the gym this offseason 👀💪

Sandro Mamukelashvili on signing with the Lakers:

“The organization is very high-level. Growing up watching the Lakers at Staples Center, wearing the purple and gold means a lot. I understand it’s the biggest stage, and you can’t run away from the spotlight. With the best fans in the world and the opportunity to play alongside Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, I think it’s a great step in my career. It’s unbelievable to be here and have a Lakers jersey.” (@LakersNation)

Walker Kessler on what Lakers fans can expect from him:

“Someone who’s going to compete every night, try to win, and have a lot of fun doing it.”

(@Lakers)

[Marc Jacobs @MJacobsLF]

Walker Kessler on whether he’d rather have a game winning block or dunk:

“I’d rather have a game winning block just because I think stopping someone and breaking their hopes and dreams of ever trying to win… that sounds terrible, but yeah, game winning block.”

The #Lakers got a good one 👀💪

[Marc Jacobs @MJacobsLF]

Walker Kessler turns 25 today.

Happy birthday @WalkerKessler13 🫡

Some Luka Dončić passing right here.

Can’t wait to see him elevate this Lakers team next season and create easy opportunities for everyone around him. 🪄

[Marc Jacobs @MJacobsLF]

Sandro Mamukelashvili on what Lakers fans can expect from him:

“What you can expect from me is hustle. Never giving up, making sure I don’t take possessions off, playing hard, and making the right decisions. I’m somebody who embraces being a Laker, understands how big it is to be part of this family, and I want to win a championship.” (@Lakers)

[Marc Jacobs @MJacobsLF]

Sandro Mamukelashvili on signing with the Lakers:

“To see my name on a Lakers jersey feels surreal. This organization is top tier. It’s one of the biggest accomplishments of my life, and I’m proud of myself. I’m truly blessed and grateful.”

Really excited to see what Quentin Grimes brings to the Lakers. His defense should be a valuable addition, and I’m looking forward to seeing the impact he makes this season. #lakeshow
