The Los Angeles Lakers are currently 1-2 in the Las Vegas summer league, following a disappointing 67-58 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Consequently, they've been eliminated from semifinal contention set for July 19. Instead, the Lakers will participate in a consolation match against the Boston Celtics on Thursday, followed by a matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Friday, both games scheduled to air on NBA TV.

Despite the team's struggles, Bronny James has displayed glimpses of talent amid inconsistent shooting. Dalton Knecht has faced challenges apart from a standout performance, while Darius Bazley has emerged as a dynamic force, contributing effectively with his aggressive rebounding, defense, and transition plays, offering hope for the team's future.
