Rōki Sasaki is already getting used to Los Angeles life.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ newest starting pitcher attended Tuesday’s game between the L.A. Lakers and Washington Wizards at Crypto.com Arena. He also got to meet Lakers forward Rui Hachimura, who further endeared him to Los Angeles fans:

There are far worse ways to spend time in one’s new city than going to see LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Lakers playing under the famous Purple and Gold banners.

And a matchup against the 6-35 Washington Wizards means Sasaki is likely going to see a win as well, which will be much needed for the Lakers. After all, they are coming off a loss to the L.A. Clippers and are just 2-4 in their last six games.

They also have a difficult stretch coming up with a Thursday home game against the reigning-champion Boston Celtics before a six-game road trip. Every win is magnified for the team as it fights to avoid falling into the Western Conference play-in tournament.

As for Sasaki, his Dodgers likely won’t be fighting to avoid a wild-card spot.

They are the reigning World Series champions and have added other players such as Blake Snell, Tanner Scott and Michael Conforto in addition to Sasaki this offseason. As if that wasn’t enough, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Tuesday that they are in “serious discussions” with Kirby Yates as well.

Anything but another deep playoff run and potential championship would be a surprise, and Sasaki is a major reason for that reality. He provides even more star power to the starting rotation and will surely be counted on in critical situations this season.

Maybe LeBron and Co. will come see him pitch as well after he attended Tuesday’s game for the Lakers.
