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.
Collin Sexton missed the Lakers' Oct. 16 preseason game but "had another great day," JJ Redick said, and was set to work on the team's off day. Cameron Carr was out, still dealing with a hit he took against Golden State. Adou Thiero sat for maintenance.
Cameron Carr is out for the Lakers' preseason finale, JJ Redick said. Collin Sexton "did everything but live" in practice; on opening night, Redick said only he's trending in the right direction, not repeating that he wasn't worried. Adou Thiero practiced: "Just maintenance."
Sandro Mamukelashvili will get "a little Mamu package" of set plays, Lakers coach JJ Redick said; the opening play against Golden State was one, run wrong. With Walker Kessler off, Redick wants two bigger wings: Mamukelashvili, Luka Doncic or Adou Thiero.
Austin Reaves was set for his first Lakers game alongside Luka Doncic this year on Oct. 8: "he's ready to go," JJ Redick said. Ziaire Williams sat again with soreness, "not anything that we're concerned about." Adou Thiero was available but knows he has to defend to play.
