The Los Angeles Lakers, under new head coach JJ Redick, are experimenting with an increased focus on three-point shooting, as seen in recent preseason games. Despite a previous loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers secured a victory against the Phoenix Suns in an overtime match, with rookie Dalton Knecht scoring a game-high 35 points. Redick remains optimistic about the team's offensive strategies, though he expressed regret over not drafting Suns rookie Ryan Dunn. The Lakers are managing player health cautiously, with key players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis seeing limited preseason action to prevent injuries. Additionally, the team is navigating the unique dynamic of having LeBron play alongside his son Bronny, sparking both excitement and criticism.
