Alex was one of the newest physical therapists chosen to work with the Los Angeles Lakers for their summer league tenure. She was well trained in her field but starting this new summer position had her really nervous. She grabbed her iPad and headed to sit behind the team bench, on guard at all times. The whistle blew, signaling the start of the game. Some fans had just gotten back into seats after taking pictures with 2 tall guys sitting on the front row. She didn't know exactly who they were but they both looked like money.
Alex continued watching the game and kept her eye on the way certain players landed on their feet after a drive that could warrant possible correction and preventative maintenance on the body after the game. She was serious about securing this opportunity. If she did well, she could be brought on to the team as a permanent staff member. It was her dream to work in L.A. as a small-town girl.
What she didn't realize was the two gentlemen who had caught a glimpse of her while scanning the building as they normally do.
"Yo , who is that?" Kyle Kuzma from the Lakers asked nudging, Lonzo Ball. "Your guess is as good as mine. Never seen her before."

"She has a yellow polo on, you think she works with PT?" Kyle asked, his eyes still adorning her beautiful brown skin and hair that was neatly laid into a bun.
"Dude, I don't know. You asking me all these questions. Ask her if you want to know so bad"
"You are good for nothin," Kyle said shaking his head and returning his focus back to the court but thinking of a master plan to sneak backstage to scope out this mystery woman.
These quarters couldn't go by fast enough as he patiently waited for the game to wrap up. Soon as it was over Kyle jumped up, dapped Zo and told him he was heading backstage to check on some of the guys.
He walked backstage with no problem as everyone knew his face and he had an all access pass. He spotted the beauty behind the curtain with Josh Hart, adjusting his knee.
"Excuse me, I didn't mean to interrupt. Just wanted to say hey to my teammate" Kyle explained while looking down at the woman, wishing he was on that table.
"Oh, that's fine. Not a problem, we're almost done." Alex said, looking at Kyle smiling as she began flexing Josh's foot.
"Dang that feel's much better! You're going to be working with the team, right?"
"I just realigned your knee so that should give you a little relief. As far as permanent position, that depends on how well the team thinks I perform this summer" she said shrugging her shoulders and rolling his sweat pants leg back down.
"Well, if you're this great I hope we get to keep you" Kuzma said quietly.
"Thank you. I'm Alex by the way" she said while sticking her hand out. Kyle shook it and place another hand on top of hers which was flattering.
