LeBron, Lonzo play together for first time

LeBron

James watched Lonzo Ball were on-court teammates for the first time when the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 123-113, back in Las Vegas. Ball didn’t start the preseason contest, but replaced Rajon Rondo just 2 minutes, 13 seconds into the game. “It’s just fun to have our full group,” James said.

James and Ball didn’t play very much. Ball has been recovering from a knee issue, and it was his first appearance this preseason.

James didn’t want to burden his new point guard with a lot of expectations, so he was keeping his approach very simple. (AP)
