Kings vs. Lakers Preseason Game 2: Let’s Try That Again

The Sacramento Kings face the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena for their second preseason matchup. Sacramento looks to rebound from a 127-103 loss against Los Angeles in their preseason opener. After missing the first game alongside Keegan Murray and Malik Monk, Ben Simmons is reportedly expected to play, according to NBA reporter Marc Spears.

Tony Xypteras highlighted positive contributions from Darius Acuff and Nique Clifford, who led the Kings with 23 points in the previous game. However, the writer noted that Sacramento's veterans struggled, with only Zach LaVine showing occasional bright spots offensively.
