Dr. Vanessa Brooks makes history as the first Black woman dual-certified as an athletic trainer and physical therapist, now joining the Lakers to fill a crucial role.
With Brooks's hiring, the Lakers will integrate her extensive experience from the Oklahoma City Thunder and strong educational background, enhancing their training capabilities as they prepare for the season.
The Lakers have prioritized hiring new staff, and with training camp approaching, Brooks will focus on aiding injured players like Christian Wood and Jarred Vanderbilt in their recovery.
Fans expressed anticipation regarding the Lakers' new head athletic trainer, hoping to hear positive feedback about the treatment players receive rather than issues within the training staff.
