**LAS VEGAS, NV** – The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers will clash in a highly anticipated Summer League matchup in Las Vegas on Monday. For the Lakers, this is their third game of the tournament, and a victory would significantly boost their chances of advancing to the semifinals.
However, the Lakers face a tough opponent in the Clippers, who boast a roster filled with seasoned Summer League veterans and have started off strong with a 2-0 record. Adding to the challenge, the Clippers will be playing the second game of a back-to-back.
The Lakers will be relying on the continued stellar performance of Cole Swider, who is averaging an all-star type of stat line. Bronny James Jr. is also a potential factor and will be a key factor. Whether other players in the roster will step up and assist Swider will be another key factor in the game.
The health status of Dalton Knecht is uncertain after he missed the previous game due to a calf cramp. His availability for Monday’s game is questionable.
Despite potential challenges, the Lakers are aiming to secure a crucial win and improve their record to 2-1 in the tournament. The game is set to be a compelling test of their Summer League squad’s potential.
