The South Bay Lakers, the NBA G League affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers, opened their season with a 2-0 record following a dominant showing from guard Chris Mañon. The team's early success highlights the development pipeline's strength as they prepare for the 2026-27 campaign.
Mañon delivered what was described as a "monster game" to propel the Lakers to their second consecutive victory. The performance underscores his growing role within the organization's developmental system.
South Bay's strong start continues a trend of competitive basketball from the Lakers' affiliate, which has consistently produced NBA-ready talent. The team will look to maintain momentum as the G League season progresses.
