In Lakers practices sometimes, Anthony Davis will play one-on-one against undrafted rookie Devontae Cacok or 21-year-old Kostas Antetokounmpo, who is on a two-way contract. Just showing us attention and trying to help, I really appreciate that.”On Friday night, players like Cacok and Antetokounmpo had a big opportunity. The Lakers played their final exhibition game against the Golden State Warriors and rested Davis, LeBron James, Quinn Cook, Danny Green, Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard, JaVale McGee and Rajon Rondo along with their injured players. Cacok was in the starting lineup, and Antetokounmpo, Marcus Allen, Zach Norvell Jr. and Demetrius Jackson all played heavy minutes in the Lakers’ 124-103 loss. “This is a great opportunity because I believe they’re playing their main guys,” coach Frank Vogel said of the Warriors before the game.
