Lakers vs Spurs California Classic preview: Can L.A. make it two straight wins in Summer League play?
Briefly

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to conclude their participation in the California Classic against the San Antonio Spurs, seeking a 2-1 record. Notable players include Bronny James, who scored 10 points in 11 minutes during a previous win, and Cole Swider, averaging 22 points per game while shooting 70%. Dalton Knecht has struggled with his performance, scoring only four points in a recent game. Both teams will be without key players due to injuries as they prepare for the matchup in Las Vegas for the NBA 2K26 Summer League.
Bronny James has certainly done that. He scored 10 points in 11 minutes and had a wonderful steal that led to a highlight dunk in the Lakers' 103-83 win over the Heat on Sunday.
Cole Swider is averaging 22 points per game in the California Classic and is shooting a shocking 70% from the field.
Dalton Knecht has struggled... he played for 22 minutes against the Heat but only scored four points.
Los Angeles is also out their top drafted player, as Adou Thiero will not play in Summer League due to a left knee injury.
