The gold is more prominent in this year's jersey, while they also switched the numbers to black with white trim.

The Lakers will wear the statement jerseys during select games this season.

The Lakers are coming off a disappointing 2021-22 season that saw them finish with a disappointing 33-49 record. Injuries were a big problem, but nothing regarding the team seemed to click. There are going to be big expectations for a bounce-back season.
