Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton lends a hand at Rolling Hills Estates camp

Kids dribbled and dunked — with a little help from Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton — at Rolling Hills Country Day School on Thursday.

The basketball-filled-day was put on for children with Camp Escapades, a summer program for children with disabilities and their siblings.

Walton joined LA Kings mascot Bailey and community leaders, such as state Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi and Torrance Mayor Pat Furey, for the annual community game, which brings together the Escapades campers with children in Country Day Camp, a program on the Rolling Hills Estates campus.
