Undrafted free agent Eric Dixon, who signed a two-way contract with the Lakers, was also held out.<\/p>\n<p>Cal State Fullerton product Jackson Rowe (13 points, eight rebounds), USC product Isaiah Mobley (13 points) and Blake Hinson (12 points) paced the Warriors.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers, who will play three games in four days at the\u00a0California Classic, face the Miami Heat on Sunday at 1:30 p.m., then square off with the\u00a0San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The team will then head to Las Vegas to participate in the league-wide 2K26 Summer League, with their first game scheduled for Thursday at 5 p.m. PT against the Dallas Mavericks at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers\u2019 summer league team is being coached by assistant coach Beau Levesque during the California Classic, with assistant coach Lindsey Harding taking over for the Las Vegas games.<\/p>\n<p>Originally Published: <time datetime=\"2025-07-05 18:31:53\">July 5, 2025 at 6:31 PM PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cole Swider shoots 6 for 8 from 3-point range on his way to a game-high 24 points, but Dalton Knecht struggles to find his stroke as the Lakers fall, 89-84, in San Francisco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":76659,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
