The Los Angeles Lakers had their first practice since the season went on hiatus on Saturday but they did so without a couple of key pieces to their team, with both of them being healthy but being held out for a couple of different technicalities.
Bill Oram of The Athletic reported on Saturday that the Lakers were without Dwight Howard and Danny Green in their practice on Saturday. Howard flew separately to the Orlando area, meaning he had to quarantine while the team was practicing and Green also had a testing glitch that made it so he wasn’t allowed to leave his quarantine yet. The good news is that by Saturday night, Howard was out and about, according to his Instagram story.
The Lakers are expected to get back on the court today for another practice as they continue to ramp up the intensity of their workouts ahead of the NBA’s restart. The Lakers will have about 10 more days of practice before they get to their scrimmages against other teams, which begin on July 23 against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.
