The pair of rookies will be introduced at the team's training center in El Segundo on Tuesday morning.
The Los Angeles Lakers will formally introduce their two newest members on Tuesday during a press conference at the team's training center in El Segundo. Both Bronny James, son of NBA star LeBron James, and Dalton Knecht will be on hand for the introduction after they were selected during the 2024 NBA Draft last week. The Lakers took Knecht, 23-year-old guard/forward who stands 6-foot-6, out of Tennessee with the No.
He was forced to miss their first eight games after suffering a heart attack during a practice session in July last year. Despite this, he was still able to suit up for the Trojans for 25 games, for whom he averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 19.3 minutes per game. The Lakers said that Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka will be in attendance, along with their new head coach JJ Redick. It remains unclear if LeBron himself will be there.
