Leaked Lakers Schedule Begins to Take Shape…
The NBA has nearly unwrapped the 2025-26 season schedule, but fans have played detective with leaks surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are set to begin the season in a fierce clash against the Warriors, featuring Luka Doncic and Stephen Curry on October 21. Christmas Day will see the Lakers take on the Houston Rockets, starring Kevin Durant, and fans will witness LeBron James returning to Cleveland in January. Additionally, the Lakers are now expected to live out Northern California dreams by facing the Kings in the third game of the season—sort of like putting the cherry on top of an already towering sundae of matchups!
Preparing to play the Kings four times, the Lakers will get an early peek at the Kings’ roster changes, including Dennis Schroder and potential interest in Russell Westbrook. Sacramento’s powerhouse players, like Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, and DeMar DeRozan, remain unchanged. However, the Kings’ playoff hopes are dimmer than a flashlight inside a black hole. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic, having transformed faster than a microwaved popcorn bag, is now poised for showdown games between the Lakers and Mavericks in late November during the Emirates NBA Cup.
