Kobe Bryant sat in to watch one workout, a treat for the prospects hoping to make the team.

Bryant sold his home in Newport Coast.
Former teammate Shaquille O’Neal said he’d pick Bryant over Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.
Bill Plaschke says Coach Byron Scott has earned the right to stay with the team as the Lakers finally received some good fortune with the second pick in the draft.
Another positive development for the Lakers: The NBA’s salary cap could leap to $90 million for the 2016-17 season.
