Kobe Bryant's father passes away

Former NBA player Joe 'Jellybean' Bryant and father of Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant who starred for the Lakers.
Jellybean passed away at the age of 69, but as of Tuesday morning, the official cause of death of Kobe Bryant's father had not been announced. La Salle University, where Bryant played and coached, said in a statement that Bryant “was a beloved member of the Explorer family and will be greatly missed.”
But according to several media reports, he died from a massive stroke.

Sacramento Kings G League coach Lindsey Harding has reached an agreement to be an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN sources.
Lindsey Harding, the Stockton Kings' G League Coach of the Year, reunites with coach JJ Redick to join his staff.
Lindsey Harding joins Nate McMillan, Scott Brooks and Greg St. Jean on the Lakers' bench this season. Harding, 39, has made a steady climb up the NBA bench after retiring from a nine-year WNBA playing career.

“I can win another title before I retire.”

LeBron James after the appointment of JJ Redick as the new coach of the Lakers. The small forward is confident he can win another title before retiring from the NBA.
“Absolutely,” James told ESPN's Dave McMenamin when asked if he believed he could win a championship again with the Lakers.
“Anthony Davis and I understand each other very well and we know what we want. We're committed to excellence,” James said. “We're not that far away. We were a year away from the Western Conference Finals. Last year didn't go as well as we'd like, but we're not that far away.”

LeBron James is a living legend in the NBA, where some mention that he enjoys certain privileges because of this status. In this way, many analysts explain the arrival of his son Bronny.
But in recent hours the criticism that has sounded the loudest comes from Enes Kanter, former Boston Celtics player among other teams.
“He runs the media and tries to control the narrative. But when you really know and have a conversation inside the NBA and its players, nobody wants to play with him. When I see a dictator, I recognize it - LeBron is literally like the dictator of the NBA. He controls the media, he controls his narrative, if you go against him, you get traded, everybody knows that,” the 32-year-old Turkish pivot said on 'OutKick's ‘Don't @ Me’ podcast.

Competing for DeMar DeRozan

According to sportswriter Barry Jackson, the San Antonio Spurs want DeMar DeRozan back, while the Los Angeles Lakers want to add him to their team.
The 34-year-old forward was paid $28.6 million last season with the Chicago Bulls and is now seeking a deal for at least 3 more seasons.
The forward comes from averaging 23.2 units in 37.7 minutes of action; leader of the entire league. The former Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls player is a good option for his scoring ability.

Buddy Hield, who just reached an agreement with the Golden State Warriors after a sign-and-trade with Philadelphia, turning down the Lakers, who were seeking him.
“Hield chose the Warriors because of the opportunity to win compared to other interested teams, such as the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers. After losing Thompson, the Warriors were desperately looking for a high-end shooter who could open up the court a little more in some of their lineup combinations. That's Hield's specialty. Since 2017, the only player who has hit more three-pointers than Hield is his new teammate, Steph Curry,” explained renowned journalist Shams Charania.

Thomas & Mack Center

The Thomas & Mack Center is a sports arena located in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 1983 was the pavilion's opening year, and it hosts the National Finals Rodeo annually. Its capacity is 19,522 fans.

Dan Hurley will remain their coach for the rest of the decade for the UConn Huskies, having signed a new contract that will keep him at Storrs through 2030.
Hurley's new contract is for 6 years, ending in 2030, for $50 million, while the Lakers' offer was for the same number of years and $70 million, up $20 million.
The Lakers are looking for a successor to Darvin Ham, who was fired on May 3 after two seasons, and need to find a strategist who can convince James to finish his career with the team.

First three-pointer

Bronny James has missed his first 16 three-pointers, but he has made his first. The point guard, son of LeBron, showed up to the Summer League game against the Hawks after missing his first 15 shots from the perimeter in a Lakers jersey. He missed his first one, but hit his second three-pointer.
“It felt really good to score it,” he said of that liberating basket.

A few minutes before kickoff, both clubs are already on the field for this duel.
