When is Suns - Lakers? Times, how to watch on TV, stream online | NBA preseason

Both teams feature some of the biggest names in the NBA. The Suns’ Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will be looking to lead Phoenix to victory, while LeBron James and Anthony Davis are set to return to the Lakers team after sitting out Thursday’s defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

LeBron’s son, Bronny, made his maiden Lakers appearance against Minnesota - and the 20-year-old could now play alongside his father for the first time.

This game is important for both teams to solidify their starting lineups and test their bench depth. The Suns are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 season, while the Lakers are fine-tuning their roster around LeBron and Davis, with JJ Redick now at the helm as head coach.
