Lakers reveal injury report for Thursday's game vs. Kings
The Lakers will again have a few key players out of action when they host the Kings on Thursday.
The Los Angeles Lakers preseason match against the Sacramento Kings is scheduled for Thursday at the Crypto.com Arena. Fans will witness the team's home debut, just 13 days before the regular-season opener. Austin Reaves, Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton, and two-way forward Arthur Kaluma missed both games, while Luka Doncic, Ziaire Williams, and Matisse Thybulle were absent on Tuesday.
Reaves will make his 2026 preseason debut on Thursday, and Doncic will return to action. However, Kessler, Sexton, Williams, Kaluma, Cameron Carr, and Dalton Knecht will not participate. Austin Reaves signed a four-year, $185 million contract with the Lakers this summer, and will bear a heavier load this season after several other starters left.
Los Angeles will play its next preseason game against the Warriors next Tuesday before concluding its preseason schedule next Thursday against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors are set to visit Los Angeles on October 21 to kick off the regular season.
