LOS ANGELES<\/strong> \u2013 (Oct. 16, 2022) \u2013 The Los Angeles Lakers made a much-anticipated preseason practice stop at the Pechanga Recreation Center on the Pechanga Indian Reservation in Temecula, Calif. on Saturday, October 1. For one hour, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and the entire Lakers team and coaches participated in a shoot around and scrimmages inside the Tribe\u2019s recreation center gym on the Pechanga Reservation. About 250 tribal youth and members watched the event held just two days before the team\u2019s first 2022 preseason game in Los Angeles against the Sacramento Kings. This is the eighth year the Lakers have held a team shoot around at the Pechanga Tribal Recreation Center in Temecula. Due to COVID and other preseason engagements, this visit was the Lakers\u2019 first to Pechanga in four years.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>\u201cIt was a great experience for me, my first time out here,\u201d said Anthony Davis, Lakers forward. \u201cI know these fans, it\u2019s a pretty far drive so they may not get a chance to come down to Crypto.com Arena to watch the games so to come out here and practice in front of them, I know it meant a lot to them, and it meant a lot to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shoot around near Temecula was a chance for the team to show gratitude for inland Southern California fans\u2019 loyalty. The Lakers\u2019 practice in Temecula was not open to the public, though members of the media were invited to interview coaches and players following the shoot around.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Lakers Youth Foundation coaches hosted a basketball clinic for about 100 children ages six to 18. Coaches tested the kids\u2019 mettle with running, sprinting, dribbling, shooting drills, and special skills drills by the Lakers Youth Foundation head coach, Daryl Roper and his team. The kids wore specially designed t-shirts for the day, and big, bright smiles as they concentrated on the coaches\u2019 drills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lakers Basketball players and coaches also took part in a casino night at Pechanga Resort Casino on Friday, Sept. 29 to benefit the Lakers Youth Foundation. Pechanga has been a longtime donor to the Lakers Youth Foundation and sponsor of the Los Angeles Lakers. The team held their first practice at Pechanga in 2010 at the newly-built recreation center. The team was so impressed with the facility and the hospitality provided by the Pechanga Indian Reservation that have made it a yearly scheduled event to come back year after year to raise money for charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to have the Lakers be here at Pechanga, especially after four years to make that connection once again and hopefully we continue this into the future,\u201d said Mark Macarro, Pechanga Tribal Chairman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
