The Los Angeles Lakers will begin the new year the same way they ended 2020, facing the San Antonio Spurs. As part of something we will see more of in 2021, the Lakers are finishing the second of a two-game set in San Antonio. Due to the coronavirus and also a lesson learned about the quality of play in the bubble, the league is trying to make the most of every road trip and allow the road teams to play and fly out in the same night less often.

Anthony DavisLeBron JamesMarc GasolDennis SchroderKentavious Caldwell-PopeLeBron James turned 36 today, and he gets to play another game of NBA basketball to celebrate. Tonight he and the Los Angeles Lakers are in San Antonio, where they will play the first of two games against the Spurs on what will be a four-game road trip, including another two-game set against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Lakers have started the season 2-2, and they are looking to send the Spurs to the same record. San Antonio opened the season with wins over Memphis and Toronto before dropping its most recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans by a mere three points. While stalwarts DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge are still carrying the load, the Spurs have a lot of young talent surrounding the two veterans, under the direction of legendary head coach Gregg Popovich.
Alex Caruso did not make the trip with the Lakers to San Antonio; the Lakers cited the NBA’s health and safety protocols as the reason.
