Exciting Lakers Pride Night and Upcoming Events…
The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up to host their annual Pride Night on October 17, welcoming the Sacramento Kings for a game that’s as colorful as a unicorn in a rainbow wig. This special occasion invites local LGBTQIA+ community members to join the festivities. Since 2018, the Lakers have celebrated Pride Night to honor and promote LGBTQIA+ history. Every year, a ‘Laces of Unity’ award is given, and folks are itching to find out who’ll snag this year’s award, like kids at a magic show waiting to see the rabbit pop out of the hat. No word yet on what giveaways will be tossed into the crowd, but past goodies have included jerseys and shirts, so fans might want to bring an extra suitcase!
October 17 also marks the last chance before the 2025-26 season begins for players to dazzle like a disco ball under a spotlight. With megastar Luka Doncic in full force and LeBron James possibly wrapping up his legendary gig, fans can expect quite a show. Fast forward to February 22, and the Lakers will unveil a statue of legendary coach Pat Riley—because nothing celebrates basketball like a giant hunk of metal in a blazer! The unveiling will happen just in time for a face-off with the Celtics, recalling Riley’s championship glory days. And of course, basketball aficionados and rookies alike won’t want to miss the drama unfolding this season in the world of purple and gold.
