LAS VEGAS, Nevada, USA - The Los Angeles (LA) Lakers opened up the Las Vegas Summer League in style on Friday night, July 7, 2023, earning a 103-96 victory over the Golden State Warriors.

After dropping their first two games of the summer in the California Classic, the Lakers finally got in the win column, which keeps their Summer League championship hopes alive.

Just like the first two games, the Lakers were led by Max Christie, who had another solid all-around night.

Christie finished with 22 points, six rebounds, and two assists while shooting 6-of-11 from the field, 3-of-5 from 3-point range, and 7-of-7 from the free throw line.

Colin Castleton also continued his impressive summer by filling up the stat sheet once again with 13 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a block.

He is one of the Lakers’ two-way players along with Virgin Island's D’Moi M. Hodge, who chipped in three triples and finished with 11 points and a pair of steals.

Next game on Sunday 

The Lakers continue Las Vegas Summer League play on Sunday afternoon when they take on the Charlotte Hornets at 4 p.m. VI time at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Hodge has been given the opportunity to become the first NBA player from the [British] Virgin Islands, after the Los Angeles Lakers signed him to a two-way contract, meaning he’ll suit up in the G-League for the South Bay Lakers.

The Lakers LA’s front office decided to hand the contract shortly after the conclusion of the 2023 NBA Draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on June 22, 2023.

    The BVI is a young country that continues to grow stronger and stronger in every respect whether sports, financial services, law, or otherwise. Only these colonial master dictators and the few they have brainwashed do not believe in the people of the BVI and trying to put us down and have us doubting and not trusting each other. They speak as if we can do nothing right nor good but who Jah Bless no man can cuss. They cannot keep us down.
