It marks the beginning of season nineteen in the league for James and his fourth with the Lakers franchise. Westbrook will wear the purple and gold for the first time, as he suits up for his fourth different franchise in as many seasons.
The Lakers have four games remaining on the preseason schedule before opening the regular season at home against Steph Curry and the Warriors.
