gonna hurt to see Grimes, Sexton and Laravia on the injury report next game

Not a fan of little brittle Zaire at power forward but I see the vision of saving the guys with some wiggle and fire power for the bench lineups when Luka or Reaves on bench

Timing nuts ngl

wild that could've been Austin

JJ could've prevented that Laravia injury if he just subbed in Vando instead

All of this was a warning from the basketball gods

Hope JJ learns

As long as it’s not Kessler

Unfortunately hes the best 4 we got lol. Also how did i forget Adou lmaooo need to revise my rotation

Luka / Sexton
Reaves / Grimes
Thybulle / Adou
Ziaire / Jake
Kessler / Mamu

adou is done bro

that knee is worse than kawhi's

Been noticing last few years coaches always playing starters at least half of 4th even if up huge

I’m thinking it’s gotta be to help them reach their contract incentive bonuses or something, they def weren’t doing that 10 to 15 yrs ago

Unfortunate cuz he d be a better fit at small forward (mamu a better option at pf but bench needs the extra bounce), wouldn’t mind them testing Adou at pf, give Luka another lob threat

Noooo dont u say that

JJ Redick said there is no update on Jake LaRavia yet, but that Redick is feeling more positive about the injury than when it initially happened.

Luka Doncic on his back-and-forth with Yaxel Lendeborg in the second quarter:

"He was talking crazy. I wasn't trying to talk back this season, I'm not trying to get techs... I'm working on it. But as you saw, it worked great."

Luka Dončić noted Walker Kessler’s strong start as a Laker, saying that he did a nice job of reading when to roll for the lob towards his 12-for-12 debut with 10 dunks, and summarized:

“Very impressive game for him.”

Luka Doncic said it’s an honor to be the face of the Lakers franchise and he wants to be here a long time.

Luka Doncic says it's "very important" to him to do nice things for the fans considering they spend their hard-earned money to support the team.

JJ Redick said he thought Walker Kessler’s strong game started “with his end-to-end transition running,” which resulted in some put-backs and extra chances.

He also noted a spacing set that originated two days ago in practice and how Kessler benefitted from dribble penetration.

Walker Kessler opens his postgame presser with a smile: “Big crowd.”

Walker Kessler said he is "extremely grateful" to be playing with the guys on this Lakers team.

"They found me in the right spots."

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.

Walker Kessler: “Contrary to my name, I run a lot.”

Walker Kessler on if his Lakers debut lived up to the expectations:

"Yeah, I would say it did. It was awesome.

Got the win, which was the most important thing.

Definitely was nervous going into the game, but I'm so thankful."

Walker Kessler on his season opener: “It’s not what I saw, it’s what Luka, AR and all the guys saw.”
