Summary

First things first -- Luka Dončić participated in Wednesday's practice, and according to JJ Redick seems fine following what looked like a groin/hip thing suffered late in Tuesday's loss to Golden State. He's expected to practice Thursday, and play on Friday when the Lakers host Minnesota at the Crypt. After that, there's a tremendous amount of uncertainty given the team's performance Tuesday night. There are questions about the bench, about diversity in scoring, about the relative lack of athleticism on the team relative to the rest of the West. How much of this is fixable? Based on the reaction to watching tape, the Lakers are confident they can in fact correct a lot of mistakes. Whether that's a matter of better coverages in transition, firmer screens and harder cuts, etc., the Lakers felt a great deal of what went wrong was in their control. How quickly can it be fixed? How much did a lack of cohesion during the preseason impact what was seen in the opener? Meanwhile, one thing that was definitely seen on Tuesday? LeBron James... doing nothing. Like, almost in the most literal sense. Sitting statuesque in the tall chair the Lakers keep around for folks with back problems. It was a topic of conversation on Wednesday, and Redick noted at practice that LeBron was an active part of film study that day. Of course, was JJ going to claim otherwise, given the headlines it would create? This is a topic of conversation only LeBron can end, and it would be in his best interests to nip this one in the bud.
