Lakers rookie hazing confirmed as mom reveals In-N-Out stunt as airplane antics go viral

Lakers rookie Cameron Carr made headlines before the team’s preseason opener against the Kings by fulfilling an unexpected team duty: ordering 30 In-N-Out cheeseburgers for his teammates during a flight to Sacramento. The stunt, captured by teammate Jarred Vanderbilt and shared by the Lakers’ social media team, became an instant viral moment, with Carr jokingly calling it part of his ‘rookie duties’ to ensure the squad was fed.

His mother, Tanya, later confirmed the order, revealing she was on the phone with him as he placed the massive drive-thru request. The preseason game marks the first action for the Lakers in 147 days and the official debut of their revamped roster following LeBron James’ departure this summer, signaling the start of the Luka Dončić-led era.

The lighthearted prank underscores the team’s effort to blend humor with preparation ahead of their five-game preseason slate, which kicks off the new chapter for Los Angeles basketball. Fans are eagerly watching how the roster reconstruction unfolds, with Monday’s matchup against the Kings serving as the first test of the squad’s chemistry and readiness for the upcoming season.
