Cameron Carr was busy ahead of the Lakers’ first preseason game against the Kings.
As the team boarded the plane for a quick flight to Sacramento, the Lakers rookie hauled 30 cheeseburgers from In-N-Out in two large brown boxes. Jarred Vanderbilt made sure to capture the moment via Instagram Stories and the team’s social media team also posted about Carr’s first task of the year.
“Rookie’s first road trip? Had to get the squad right 😌” the Lakers’ social media account wrote in a post on X.
Carr held his head high as he carried the humongous food order onto the plane.
“Rookie duties,” Carr said in the video. “Make sure the guys is fed. If they eat well, they play well.”
Carr’s mother, Tanya, vouched for the rookie fulfilling his duties as she shared she was on the phone with him while he made the monstrous order.
“I was on the phone when he ordered 30 cheeseburgers in the drive thru….gotta feed his teamates! 🤣” Tanya Carr wrote in a post on X.
