What happened
Collin Sexton took part in his first full Lakers practice on Monday and is being handled as day-to-day for Wednesday’s season opener against Golden State after dealing with a lower-leg injury and tightness. He missed all five preseason games.
Sexton said he is approaching the issue day by day and felt good after practice, while noting he can see how he fits as another ball-handler. The Lakers signed him this offseason, and his return should help their bench scoring and secondary playmaking.
His availability could affect Los Angeles’ second-unit creation and guard rotation, but the team has not confirmed whether he will be cleared in time for opening night.
