What happened
JJ Redick said the Lakers still have two starting jobs undecided for Opening Night, even as Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler are viewed as core pieces of the first unit.
Quentin Grimes has started all three preseason games, while Ziaire Williams and Jake LaRavia are also in the mix; Williams has been limited by a foot contusion and LaRavia has drawn praise for his play.
The rotation picture could keep changing through the final preseason games, especially if Kessler or Sexton remain unavailable. One or two lineup spots are still being evaluated rather than locked in.
