Kessler logged 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 101-89 preseason loss to the Warriors.
Kessler made an immediate impact in his Lakers debut after missing the first three exhibitions with a finger injury. Golden State grabbed just two offensive rebounds before halftime and 13 after it with Kessler on the bench, which shows exactly why the Lakers paid $130 million for him.
