LeBron sets cautious tone as Kleber sits

The Lakers’ Media Day started with Maxi Kleber feeling healthy, but by Tuesday he tweaked his quad in conditioning and sat out of practice. He’ll have an MRI, while Deandre Ayton, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Koloko take the extra reps.

Coach JJ Redick shared updates, including LeBron James limiting preseason work to preserve his Year 23 body. One could say LeBron has racked up more mileage than an old Uber, but still runs smoother than most new models on the lot.
