LA Lakers Summer League 2025 Roster, Dates and Complete Schedule
The LA Lakers' summer league journey will begin on July 10, as they participate in four games in Las Vegas. However, before their games in Nevada, the Lakers will participate in the California Classic at the Chase Center.
In the 2025 NBA draft, the Lakers initially held the 55th pick but traded with the Chicago Bulls to acquire the 45th pick, offering cash considerations in the deal.
They then made another trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves to move up to the 36th pick, again using a cash deal. With this pick, they drafted Adou Thiero from Arkansas, who was their only selection in the draft.
However, the Lakers did add a few undrafted prospects to their roster, most notably NCAA scoring champion Eric Dixon, who signed a two-way contract. Furthermore, they also signed guards RJ Davis and Augustus Marčiulionis and Texas forward Arthur Kaluma to Exhibit 10 deals.
Despite a relatively quiet draft, LA will be yearning to start their summer league journey with the team featuring some exciting young talents. The Lakers (50-32) finished third in the West but lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round.
A lack of depth was a big reason behind this early exit, and the Lakers will be hoping to uncover a few gems during this tourney.
