JJ Redick drops verdict on Walker Kessler’s Lakers preseason debut

The Los Angeles Lakers have been very cautious with Walker Kessler, their marquee offseason acquisition, during preseason, holding him out for their first three exhibition contests. Kessler had been dealing with a finger injury, but head coach JJ Redick wasn’t very concerned and made sure to say that he’ll be suiting up in at least one preseason game. The 25-year-old center did just that on Tuesday as the Lakers faced the Golden State Warriors for the second time in preseason. Not only did Kessler play, he also impressed in his 16 minutes on the floor.
