Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers Face Off in 2025–26 Preseason Clash

In NCAA Division 1 football for the 2025 regular season, the Kent State Golden Flashes recorded only 346 rushing yards, ranking as the second fewest among 236 teams, and averaged 2.4 yards per rush attempt, the third lowest. Meanwhile, the Toledo Rockets led NCAA Division 1 with 9 recovered fumbles. In NBA preseason news, the Golden State Warriors face the Los Angeles Lakers with notable absences such as Seth Curry, who has not been cleared to play, and Trayce Jackson-Davis, who is questionable due to a thumb injury. The Warriors' roster features the Curry brothers playing together professionally for the first time, alongside veterans Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, who is also dealing with an ankle issue. The Lakers, under new head coach JJ Redick, continue to develop around Luka Dončić, who is resting, and manage LeBron James's playing time as he approaches age 41. The preseason matchup highlights both teams' transitions and focuses on chemistry and player evaluation ahead of the 2025–26 NBA season.
