Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Progressing in recovery
Coach JJ Redick said Saturday that Vanderbilt (foot) is progressing and in a "ramp up" stage in his recovery, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Vanderbilt is still working his way back from multiple foot surgeries this offseason and isn't expected to suit up in the preseason. However, the Lakers are still targeting the regular-season opener against Minnesota on Oct. 21 as his return date.

Lakers' Armel Traore: Dealing with right hand injury
Traore is expected to be out "for around five days" with swelling in right hand, Lakers head coach JJ Redick told Khobi Price of The Orange County Register.
Traore inked a two-way deal with the Lakers in June, and even though the Lakers will keep close tabs on this injury, it shouldn't affect anything from a fantasy perspective. Traore is expected to suit up for the South Bay Lakers of the G League in 2024-25.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Considered day-to-day
Reaves (ankle) participated in the non-contact part of Saturday's practice and is considered day-to-day moving forward, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reaves missed the Lakers' most recent preseason contest due to ankle soreness but appears to be progressing in his recovery. Reaves' status for Tuesday's preseason matchup with Golden State has yet to be determined.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Struggles with shot in 25 minutes
Davis totaled 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three blocked shots, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 win over the Bucks.
Although Davis' shot was a bit off in the win, he provided solid results on defense with eight grabs off the glass and three blocked shots. Davis was expected to see limited minutes in the preseason, but he's obviously feeling healthy enough to put in some work in early October.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Logs 34 minutes in victory
Knecht compiled 13 points (5-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 win over the Bucks.
Knecht had difficulty finding the bottom of the basket on most of his perimeter shots, but the 2024 first-round pick logged the most minutes on the floor Thursday and seems to be getting every opportunity to prove his worth. The Tennessee product's chances of breaking into the first unit are slim, but he seems to have an inside track to a good deal of reserve work as a rookie.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Leads team with 14 points
Hachimura totaled 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist across 24 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 win over the Bucks.
Hachimura started once again in the frontcourt with Anthony Davis, a trend that could continue into the regular season. Although Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood are still on the roster, Hachimura seems to have the definitive edge over his teammates and the confidence of coach JJ Redick.

Lakers' Max Christie: Gets another chance to start
Christie is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks.
Christie will start his second game of the preseason due to the absence of Austin Reaves (ankle) Thursday evening. Christie fared well in the opener with the first unit, recording 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 34 minutes.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Out vs. Milwaukee
Reaves (ankle) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks due to ankle soreness, coach JJ Redick told Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times.
Per Redick, neither the coaching nor the medical staff is concerned about Reaves' injury. Reaves' next chance to play will be against the Warriors on Oct. 15, but his main goal is to be ready for the regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Oct. 22.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Will be available Thursday
Goodwin (hamstring) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks but will operate under a minutes restriction, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Goodwin missed the Lakers' first two preseason games but will debut Thursday. His return is a positive sign in his recovery process, even if he has a minute restriction.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Scores 13 points Sunday
Hachimura totaled 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 222 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to Phoenix.
Hachimura was one of five Lakers players Sunday to score in double digits, and he joined D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves as the only starters to play 20-plus minutes. Entering his sixth year in the league and his second full season with the Lakers, Hachimura will look to expand his role in the frontcourt next to Anthony Davis and LeBron James.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Grabs eight boards vs. Phoenix
Davis tallied 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.
Davis was the second-leading scorer for the Lakers on Sunday behind LeBron James (19), despite the duo not playing more than 20 minutes. Davis is looking to build off a strong 2023-24 campaign, during which he averaged 24.7 points on 55.6 percent shooting, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals across 35.5 minutes per game.

Lakers' LeBron James: Leading scorer Sunday
James finished Sunday's 124-118 preseason loss to the Suns with 19 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 16 minutes.
James and Anthony Davis were the only Lakers starters to play less than 20 minutes Sunday, but the former still managed to lead the team in points. James' playing time during the preseason will likely be more than he saw Sunday. Los Angeles' next exhibition contest will be against Milwaukee on Thursday.

Lakers' Cam Reddish: Available Sunday
Reddish (undisclosed) will play in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Suns, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reddish has been dealing with lingering injuries of late, but he will officially be available for the team's second preseason game. Although he is available, head coach JJ Redick stated that Reddish will likely play in the second half, suggesting he is on a minutes restriction as he works back into form.
