Walker Kessler Fully Healthy and Cleared for Start of Lakers Season

Walker Kessler (shoulder) is fully healthy and cleared for the start of the season, according to Lakers president Rob Pelinka. Kessler underwent shoulder surgery in November but is on track to enter training camp without restrictions. The 25-year-old big man is expected to secure a prominent role in Los Angeles' frontcourt, where he will benefit from easy setup passes provided by Luka Doncic.
