What happened: Training camp continued Thursday with an emphasis on perimeter shot-making. Earlier this week, the Lakers set a '3 goals' mantra, extending a themed start to preseason work.

Why it matters: The update carries limited standalone weight, but it fits the broader preseason buildup for the 2026-27 season. It also lands inside a short evaluation window, with the roster needing to be trimmed to 15 by Oct. 20.

What to watch: Watch for whether shooting and spacing remain a visible theme as camp moves toward preseason action. The next consequential team news is likely to come from roster decisions later this month.
