The 2022-23 season officially kicked off at the UCLA Health Training Center as the Lakers held their first practice of training camp. A new coaching staff \u2014 which was formally announced during the practice \u2014 led by Darvin Ham led a largely new roster of players through their first on-court work together.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the news and notes from that opening practice.<\/p>\n

Russ practices with the starters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If anyone left Monday’s media day under the impression Russell Westbrook’s starting spot was not guaranteed, Raw wiped those away by revealing on Tuesday that Westbrook practiced with the starters. <\/p>\n

Asked Darvin Ham if he envisioned Russell Westbrook being a starter if things go as he expects – \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d Raw said Westbrook was \u201cfront and center\u201d today.<\/p>\n

Westbrook, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James were the starters revealed by Ham, but the rest of the lineup remained a secret. Or at least if you assume the Showtime Lakers weren’t in attendance for practice on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

With nearly a week of practice between Tuesday and the first preseason game, expect this to be a recurring topic of conversation over the coming days.<\/p>\n
