The Los Angeles Lakers today announce three games for the team’s 2024-25 preseason schedule, presented by Delta Air Lines. The preseason slate is highlighted by an Oct.15 contest in Las Vegas against the Golden State Warriors at T-Mobile Arena, the site of the purple and gold’s NBA Cup title last season. Tickets go on sale May 20.
In mid-October, the team will continue its tradition of bringing Lakers basketball to Las Vegas when it takes on Golden State Oct. 15 at T-Mobile Arena. The purple and gold own many proud moments in Sin City, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar breaking the then-NBA scoring record held by Wilt Chamberlain on April 5, 1984, versus Utah. Legend Kobe Bryant was named the 2007 NBA All-Star Game MVP held in Las Vegas after leading the West Team to victory with a game-high 31 points.
Los Angeles will open the preseason with a pair of games in Greater Palm Springs at Acrisure Arena, hosting Minnesota Oct. 4 and Phoenix Oct. 6. The purple and gold boast a rich history in the Coachella Valley, the former home of Lakers training camp. Legends Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal left their mark on the Greater Palm Springs area when they suited up for Los Angeles in the 1997 preseason at the College of the Desert. The Lakers most recently hosted the Suns at a sold-out Acrisure Arena during the 2023 preseason. Tickets for this year’s contests in the Coachella Valley will go on sale May 20 as well.
Spectrum SportsNet will broadcast all preseason games to begin its 13th consecutive season as the exclusive regional broadcast home for the Los Angeles Lakers. Additionally, all preseason games can be heard on the team’s flagship radio station, 710 AM ESPNLA, and in Spanish on KWKW 1330 AM.
Individual game tickets for contests in Las Vegas and Greater Palm Springs will go on sale at 10 a.m. PT on Monday, May 20. Tickets for the matchup in Las Vegas on Oct. 15 will be available to purchase at axs.com and at the T-Mobile Arena box office. Tickets for Oct. 4 and 6 at Acrisure Arena in the Coachella Valley can be purchased via Ticketmaster or at the Acrisure Arena Ticketmaster box office.
