Lakers Open Preseason With Reaves and Kessler Sidelined

Original: lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have begun their preseason campaign, sitting Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler out of their preseason opener against the Sacramento Kings. Luka Dončić made an impression, scoring 21 points in just 16 minutes of play. Coverage is focused on the team's backcourt depth, preseason injuries, and early storylines as the Lakers tune up for the new NBA season, with the Kings also starting their own preseason preparations.

Why now: The NBA preseason has started, and the Lakers' rotation decisions plus Dončić's quick scoring are drawing attention.
