The Los Angeles Lakers are relocating their G League team from El Segundo to Palm Desert, California. The team will move to Acrisure Arena and be rebranded as the Coachela Valley Lakers ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The new location marks a strategic shift for the organization, placing the developmental squad in a growing sports and entertainment hub in Southern California. Acrisure Arena, which opened in 2022, will serve as the home venue for the team's games and operations.
