JJ Redick says the Lakers have a 'fine system' where players contribute cash if they're late to practice or film and that they shoot half court shots at the end of the week for the pot. He said that Luka has by far won the most money.

“He was talking crazy. I was trying not to talk back. Don’t want to get techs.” Luka Doncic on his back and forth with Yaxel Lendeborg towards the end of the first half.

Walker Kessler heads to the bench for the final time tonight to an ovation from Lakers fans. He finished his debut scoring 26 points on a perfect 12-for-12 from the field. He tacked on nine rebounds and two blocks and was a +24.

Quentin Grimes is such a talented off-ball scorer.

It's been three quarters and these are some of the easiest buckets Walker Kessler has gotten in his career. He's up to 16 points on 8-for-8 from the field in 18 minutes.

To all the Lakers fans who show distaste for Luka Doncic's halfcourt/trick shot heaves in practice...

Luka Doncic hit a jumper and pointed at Yaxel Lendeborg on the bench, urging him to come back in the game. The rookie proceeded to be sent to the scorer's table. 🍿

Jake "Refined Jump Shot" LaRavia is 2-for-2 from three to start the season.

Steve Kerr makes the biggest defensive play for the Lakers tonight by subbing Steph Curry out.

First timeout of the season is going well!

Lakers came out with good intensity, just having trouble chasing Stephen Curry (38) around on defense.

Stephen Curry getting ready for opening night. Steve Kerr wouldn’t disclose if he’d be on a minutes restriction after tweaking his ankle just a few days ago.

Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton warming up ahead of tonight. Sexton is officially out with a right soleus strain.

Asked JJ Redick about what his mindset is going into tonight. He talked in training camp about reflecting on his mindset as a coach this offseason. “These last three weeks, they feel like you’re stuck in a vestibule, and you’re ready to cross the threshold… “And I’m ready to cross the threshold. I’m ready to get out of this vestibule.”

Collin Sexton being out was a collaborative decision, per JJ Redick. "No setback."

GSW tonight. @LakersSBN

Lakers announce that Matisse Thybulle is wearing the No. 4 jersey this season. It was previously his number in Portland and belonged to Dalton Knecht before he was waived. Thybulle wore #26 this preseason.
