The Los Angeles Lakers will open up the preseason on Friday evening when they host Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

While it's just the preseason, fans will get a chance to see first-time head coach JJ Redick (and potentially Bronny James make his debut).

Bronny met with reporters before the game, and he made a statement that a lot of fans reacted to on social media (h/t Jovan Buha of The Athletic).

Bronny speaking about Redick: "He's a great coach so far. It's been amazing vibes in the facility so far. I feel like it's upped the vibes from what it was last year, from what I've heard."
