Highlights From Lakers Practice Were Very Intense: Patrick Beverley Already Started With "Too Small" Gesture, LeBron James Explodes With A Dunk

The Los Angeles Lakers may be one of the biggest franchises in NBA history, but they are going through a rough patch over the last few seasons apart from the 2019-20 season.

Last season the Purple and Gold ended up missing the play-in tournament, and it was a new low for the organization. But instead of sulking about it, the Lakers have been doing everything in their power to improve their roster and make a stunning comeback in the 2022-23 NBA season.

In the process, they have added several key pieces to the team. While there are still a few things that the Lakers need to figure out, they are looking much better than the previous season.

The Los Angeles Lakers Look Ready For The New Season

There may be a few weeks to go before the new season starts, but the Lakers' preseason campaign begins soon. Before that, the newly built roster of the Purple and Gold has obviously engaged in a few practice scrimmages.

A new clip from the team's latest practice surfaced on the internet, and it's safe to assume the entire team looks focused and ready to reach new heights.

Some highlights from LA’s scrimmage to get ready for preseason tomorrow. Got some good downhill action, Bron/Russ PNR resulting in an open corner 3 for DJ and of course, a “too small” gesture from Pat Bev for good measure. And yes, AD played. Sounds/looked competitive.

It is still too early to make any solid predictions about the Lakers because they are yet to actually play a game together.

In fact, even last season, the Lakers were expected to be one of the top contenders to win it all. While the Lakers are far from the top contenders to win it all this season, they still need to stay healthy throughout the season to advance to the NBA playoffs.
