Walker Kessler’s Lakers Number Story | Los Angeles Lakers News

Walker Kessler’s jersey number change from 24 to 14 marks a dream come true for the new Lakers big man — a nod to his Team USA World Cup days and a nod to his new teammates, including Austin Reaves. While 13 was his college number, it’s taken by Wilt Chamberlain, making 14 the perfect fit. Beyond the number, the Lakers see him as the ideal rim protector and pick-and-roll weapon to complement Luka Doncic and Reaves, with elite rebounding and defensive prowess on the horizon. With the spotlight now on him in L.A., Kessler is ready to prove he’s the cornerstone of their future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
