There are no real surprises on the roster, other than second round draft pick forward Ryan Kelly is officially listed on the roster, despite reports that he will not actually play for the team due to his recovery from off-season foot surgery. However, there are a few familiar faces and names, with fan-favorite center Robert Sacre leading the way, along with former Laker summer league team member Chris Douglas-Roberts, who looks to try and make the team again this year after being one of the last cuts the Lakers made last year.

The Lakers’ summer league team will play three guaranteed games, against the Cavs, Trail Blazers, and Clippers, prior to the “playoffs,” where seeding will be determined by the team’s record.
