The LA Lakers will finish the non-Las Vegas portion of their NBA Summer League schedule on Wednesday. In a matchup built for an event dubbed the California Classic, the Lakers will take on the Miami Heat at Chase Center.
On Sunday afternoon, the Lakers were blown out in their second game of the California C Classic, losing 92-68 to the Golden State Warriors.
Miami, too, suffered a blowout loss, falling to Golden State in their opener by 39 points, although one shouldn't take the Summer League games all that seriously.

Miami Heat vs LA Lakers Team News
Miami Heat
The Lakers will also see a familiar face lining up against them for the Heat as Cole Swider is playing for Miami this summer. In the Heat's win on Sunday, he scored 21 points on, predictably, 5-10 3-point shooting.
Kel'el Ware, the Heat's No. 15 overall selection, has been an early standout through their first two Summer League games. Ware posted 12 points, six rebounds and five blocks in the opener against Golden State and then followed up with 26 points and 11 boards on 12-of-21 shooting roughly 24 hours later against Sacramento.
LA Lakers
On Sunday, with Bronny James Jr. out, all eyes were on Dalton Knecht, who scored 12 points and grabbed two rebounds, two steals and an assist. Armel Traoré had seven rebounds along with 11 points. Sean East II pitched in with 10 points, three rebounds and two assists.
After a strong opening game, Maxwell Lewis missed all eight of his shots on Sunday. While Colin Castleton messed around with a double-double in both contests, it wasn't his best of games, either.
Blake Hinson again came off the bench and scored eight points with five rebounds, two steaks and an assist.
Bronny's fitness will be an important thing to monitor. He was ruled out for the second game running on Sunday due to swelling in his left knee. Having had several days off, one would expect him to return on Wednesday.
