What happened
The Lakers enter opening night with limited preseason continuity, after Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler shared only one half across five exhibition games.
Adou Thiero and Cameron Carr are out against Golden State, Collin Sexton is questionable, and Reaves said extra reps should help the group build over time.
