Courtside Celebrities: Kate Hudson and Brenda Song Cheer for the Lakers

On Tuesday night, Hollywood stars Kate Hudson and Brenda Song were spotted courtside at the Crypto.com Arena, showing their unwavering support for the Los Angeles Lakers. Their appearance was part of a gathering with fellow castmates from their upcoming Netflix series "Running Point," including Scott MacArthur and Drew Tarver.

Lakers Face Tough Opposition without Key Players

The Lakers faced a formidable challenge against the reigning NBA Champion Oklahoma City Thunder, who dominated the game. Compounding the difficulty, the Lakers were notably shorthanded, missing crucial players such as LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and Marcus Smart. This led to a tough outing for the Lakers, who struggled to keep pace with the fast-breaking Thunder.

Key Highlights from the Game

• Celebrity Presence: Hudson and Song were not alone in their support; many celebrities dotted the stands, adding star power to the event.
• Laker Girls Interaction: Hudson took a moment to greet the Laker Girls and congratulated the UCLA Bruins women’s basketball team for their victory in the 2026 NCAA National Championship, an honor recognized during a game timeout.
• Upcoming Show: The cast’s presence at the game coincides with the anticipation surrounding the second season of "Running Point," set to premiere on April 23. This series is inspired by Jeanie Buss, the former Lakers owner and current governor.
