Everything said since their last game, v Nuggets on 16 Oct.
Matisse Thybulle gets a roaming role on defense, Lakers coach JJ Redick said, but within limits: "You got to allow him freedom to be a little bit of a roamer on defense... Not gambling." He cited one play where Thybulle gambled on DeMar DeRozan and it hurt the Lakers.
Adou Thiero and Cameron Carr missed Lakers practice again, JJ Redick said; Bronny James and Dalton Knecht had excused absences. Collin Sexton was "in practice, full participant," though Redick did not say whether he will play in the next game.
Walker Kessler expects Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves to be double-teamed a lot off screens, so the Lakers center says he must improve at making plays when he catches the ball behind it: "just playing out of that pocket, it's going to be a big, big part of my expansion."
Ziaire Williams, back from a hamstring injury, was on a planned minutes limit and has foot soreness. JJ Redick hopes for "3 really good days with him" so the Lakers forward "can play more than 10 minutes" Oct. 21. Luka Doncic sitting the second half was planned, Redick said.
Sandro Mamukelashvili, at center, is to start the fast break off defensive rebounds, Lakers coach JJ Redick said. Told by Redick in a timeout he hadn't looked at the basket, he hit three straight 3-pointers. "Hey, you're a really good basketball player, shoot the ball."
