Lakers' Adou Thiero: Gets questionable tag
Thiero (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
It's the first time all season that Thiero has drawn a questionable tag amid his recovery from left knee surgery. The rookie second-rounder is likely to face restrictions to his playing time upon his season debut, which could come as early as Friday. Thiero's eventual presence could eat into the minutes of Dalton Knecht off the Lakers' bench.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Gets little help in loss
Doncic supplied 19 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 loss to the Thunder.
No other Lakers starter managed more than 13 points on the night, and only four Los Angeles players in total scored in double digits in the rout. It was the first time Doncic failed to score at least 20 points in a game himself this season, but the 26-year-old superstar is still averaging a blistering 34.9 points, 9.1 boards, 8.9 assists, 3.5 threes and 1.8 steals through his first eight contests.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Bright spot in loss
Knecht logged 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 loss to Oklahoma City.
Knecht matched his season-high mark of 16 points as he was able to take advantage of some garbage time in this blowout loss. He's made the most of his limited minutes in November, putting up averages of 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers on 48.6 percent shooting from the field in 17.5 minutes per contest.

Lakers' LeBron James: Goes through 5-on-5 work
James (back) took part in 5-on-5 drills while practicing with the G League's South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
James has been sidelined all season while recovering from sciatica on his right side, but he took a meaningful step toward making his 2025-26 debut by getting in his first practice of the campaign Wednesday. With the Lakers in the midst of a five-game road trip, James will likely continue to practice with South Bay over the next few days before the parent club returns to Los Angeles following Saturday's tilt in Milwaukee. Head coach JJ Redick wasn't willing to commit to James taking part in practice with the Lakers on Monday, making it unclear if the 21-time All-Star will be available for Tuesday's home game against the Jazz.

Lakers' LeBron James: Practicing in G League on Wednesday
James (back) will practice with the G League's South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
James will log his first practice of the season and will be recalled after the practice. The 40-year-old is moving on to the next phase of his rehab from sciatica on his right side, an issue that first cropped up over the summer. Previous reports have suggested that James could be cleared to make his season debut next Tuesday against the Jazz once the Lakers return from their five-game road trip, though his availability for that contest will be contingent on him responding well to his increased workload in practice over the next few days.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Monster defensive performance
Smart logged 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven steals, six assists and four rebounds over 37 minutes during the Lakers' 121-111 win over the Hornets on Monday.
Smart connected on three three-pointers for the second time this season, but the 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year made his presence felt with seven steals, one short of his career-high eight swipes in February 2017. Smart opened the season on the bench, but he has started each of his last seven outings, averaging 11.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 steals across 30.7 minutes per game over that span.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Well-rounded effort in return
Reaves (groin) delivered 24 points (7-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-11 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes in the Lakers' 121-111 win over the Hornets on Monday.
Reaves was cleared to return Monday from a three-game absence due to a groin strain. He didn't score with much efficiency, but he got to the charity stripe for a game-high 11 free-throw attempts, led the Lakers in rebounds and finished second in scoring behind Luka Doncic (38 points). The Lakers capped Reaves at under 30 minutes in his return, but he could see a slight uptick in playing time during the team's next game Wednesday at Oklahoma City.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Scores 21 points in Monday's win
Hachimura contributed 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during the Lakers' 121-111 win over the Hornets on Monday.
It was another efficient outing for Hachimura, who connected on all three of his three-point attempts while finishing third on the Lakers in scoring behind Luka Doncic (38) and Austin Reaves (24). It was Hachimura's third game this season in which he's scored 20-plus points, and the seventh-year pro is averaging a career-high 16.3 points per game while connecting on 58.6 percent of his field-goal attempts to open the regular season.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Leads Los Angeles to win
Doncic registered 38 points (14-28 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 121-111 victory over the Hornets.
Doncic did a good chunk of the heavy lifting on the offensive end Monday, though he couldn't quite get comfortable from beyond the arc. That didn't stop him from firing up shots, and he's now drilled four or more triples in three consecutive games. Doncic has put up 35 or more points in three of his last five appearances.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Reverting back to bench Monday
LaRavia won't start in Monday's game against the Hornets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
With Austin Reaves (groin) returning from a three-game absence due to a groin injury, LaRavia will slide to the second unit. In five appearances off the bench this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Will play Monday
Reaves (groin) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Reaves will return to action after missing three games due to a groin injury. The Oklahoma product was off to a stellar start before the setback, averaging 31.1 points, 9.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.9 minutes per contest across seven appearances. Barring any limitations, he should resume his role as a focal point of the Lakers' offense alongside Luka Doncic.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Upgraded to probable
Reaves (groin) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Hornets, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Reaves made it through shootaround without any setbacks, and he was spotted getting extra shots after the fact. With Reaves expected to return from a three-game absence, it's possible the Lakers keep an eye on his minutes as a precaution.
