Alex Caruso shared his thoughts on the short offseason of the defending champions Los Angeles Lakers.

Caruso, a Lakers fan favorite, believes the short offseason (just 71 days) can help the team return to form sooner than the other teams.

“I think that’s maybe the only advantage coming out from having the shortest amount of rest, is that we were the team that played the longest and has played most recently.

I think that’s going to help us. Vice versa, getting the bodies back to where they need to be, I took a couple weeks of just not doing a lot. Maybe lifting a couple times a week, maybe one workout for the first couple of weeks after we won the championship.

Just to get wrist back, knees, get everything back to equilibrium and where it needs to be for me to get back to work,” Caruso said, via Lakers Nation.
