Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in Trevor Lane here for Lakers Nation.com.

Doing a little weekend edition here to preview the Lakers Sunday matchup,

Easter Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets and sift through the rubble of that loss against

the Indiana Pacers need to talk a little bit about Gabe Vincent returning as well. So a lot to get into on today's show.
