Here is the schedule that the Lakers released on Monday:
Friday, Oct. 3 – vs. Suns, 7 p.m. PDT
Sunday, Oct. 12 – vs. Warriors, 6:30 p.m. PDT
Wednesday, Oct. 15 – vs. Mavericks, 7 p.m. PDT
Friday, Oct. 17 – vs. Kings, 7:30 p.m. PDT
While these are all considered home games, only two of them will be played at the Lakers’ traditional stadium.
Last preseason, the Lakers didn’t host any games in L.A. due to renovations happening at Crypto.com Arena.
The first preseason game L.A. will host against Phoenix will take place at the Acrisure Arena, located in Palm Springs.
The other game outside of Los Angeles County will be the Oct. 15 game against the Mavericks, which will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
That will certainly be an intriguing preseason matchup with Luka Dončić playing his former team.
Tickets for these two games outside of Los Angeles will go on sale on June 6. To purchase seats for the Lakers-Mavs matchup in Vegas, visit axs.com or the T-Mobile Arena box office.
For tickets to the Palm Springs game against the Suns, visit ticketmaster.com or the Acrisure Arena Ticketmaster box office.
The two Lakers home games for Oct. 12 and Oct. 17 will go on sale in August.
While these are the home preseason games for the Lakers, the road schedule will be released at a later date.
With four games already on deck and some additional road contests to be announced later, the Lakers will have plenty of preseason action to prepare them for the upcoming NBA season.
