Walker Kessler makes history in Lakers debut against Warriors

In his regular-season opener on October 21, Walker Kessler scored 26 points without missing a shot, going 12-for-12 from the field. He also grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots, contributing significantly to the Lakers' 127-105 win over the Golden State Warriors. Kessler's performance was historic, making him the second Laker to achieve 12 or more field goals without a miss, a feat last accomplished by Wilt Chamberlain in 1969. Kessler's ten dunks tied for the most in a game by a Laker since Shaquille O'Neal in 2003. His impressive start alleviated some skepticism regarding the Lakers' investment in him, given they traded two first-round picks for his signing.
