The Los Angeles Lakers host the Golden State Warriors tonight at Crypto.com Arena for a preseason game.
The Lakers will be without LeBron James, who is sidelined by right-side sciatica and will be re-evaluated in 3–4 weeks. He is out for tonight and likely the start of the regular season. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic is also unavailable—he will sit out this game as the team manages his minutes and recovery. With both stars out, the spotlight shifts to DeAndre Ayton, Austin Reaves, and other rotation pieces to maintain competitive play.
Golden State, likewise, is holding out its top veterans for tonight’s contest. Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Al Horford, and Moses Moody will rest, opening opportunities for Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, and Quinten Post to see extended minutes. The Warriors will test smaller, faster lineups while experimenting with their next-level contributors.
