Lakers update: LeBron James, 39, is joined this season by his son Bronny James, 20 as he embarks on his seventh season in Los Angeles. Former Wolves D’Angelo Russell and Jarred Vanderbilt are also back, but Vanderbilt will be out for Tuesday’s game (multiple foot surgeries).
Wolves update: They have no injuries headed into the season opener. Look for the backup point guard role behind Mike Conley to be filled by a committee of Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker as the Wolves give rookie Rob Dillingham a longer runway to contribute. The Wolves made their final cut to the roster Monday in waiving Keita Bates-Diop, who they acquired in the trade with the Knicks earlier this month.
Despite so-so record, Wolves have improved at crunch time.
