The two neutral-site games help complete a six-game preseason schedule designed to prepare Los Angeles for the 2022-23 NBA season.
The Lakers had long played preseason games in Las Vegas, but haven’t formally returned since the 2018-19 preseason. They played the Warriors on Oct. 10, 2018, at T-Mobile Arena, winning 123-113 in one of superstar LeBron James’ first games in a Lakers uniform.
