The Los Angeles Lakers got back on the court on Wednesday for practice after taking a day off earlier this week for the first time since they arrived at the Disney World Campus, the folks at the Lakers teased us even more with some practice footage from yesterday.
Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy shared some video on Thursday of him putting LeBron James, Alex Caruso, and Dion Waiters through a workout, along with some other practice footage from Disney World.

With the injury to Rajon Rondo and the opt-out decision of Avery Bradley, the Lakers have taken a major hit to their guard depth. That puts even more pressure on LeBron James to create and will also likely lead to bigger ball-handling roles for Alex Caruso and Dion Waiters, who LeBron was working with yesterday.
Earlier in the week, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel told reporters that he is curious to see what Dion Waiters can do in the lead facilitator role in light of Rondo’s absence.
