What happened
Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams will fill the Lakers’ last two starting spots Wednesday against Golden State, joining Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler.
Coach JJ Redick had already locked in three starters before camp, leaving the final positions open, and Williams earned one by starting both preseason games he played.
This reshapes Los Angeles’ early wing defense and keeps the final rotation spots fluid, especially with Collin Sexton, Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero unavailable.
