Cameron Carr admitted he was nervous before his preseason debut

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Cameron Carr made his NBA preseason debut with a strong statistical line, scoring 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-7 from three-point range, while adding three rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 23 minutes of action. Despite his solid performance—highlighted by a smooth shooting stroke and efficient movement around screens—the Baylor transfer admitted to feeling nervous before taking the court, calling it a natural reaction to his first taste of professional basketball at the highest level.

Carr’s ability to stretch the floor and navigate the crowded Lakers wing rotation, which includes Quentin Grimes, Ziaire Williams, Matisse Thybulle, and Jake LaRavia, will be key as he looks to carve out a role, though he’ll likely spend significant time in the G League refining his game this season.
