Walker Kessler Embraces Pressure Of Playing For Los Angeles Lakers

Following a major trade to acquire him this summer, 25-year-old center Walker Kessler is embracing the storied history and high stakes of wearing a Los Angeles Lakers uniform. Head coach JJ Redick and the front office have fostered a supportive environment, framing the pressure as an opportunity rather than a burden. Kessler will make his regular-season debut Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors after appearing in the team's final two preseason outings.
