Rookie Dalton Knecht with 35 POINTS, 8 THREES vs Suns in Preseason 😳
OCTOBER 18 • YOUTUBE
Anthony Davis - Puts up 35 points Thursday Davis recorded 35 points (14-28 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-8 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Thursday's 128-122 preseason win over the Suns.
Impact Davis tied Dalton Knecht for the team's lead in scoring, and if this preseason game taught us anything, it's that Davis is more than ready for the start of the regular season. The star big man will undoubtedly be the Lakers' top offensive threat, even ahead of LeBron James, when they open their 2024-25 regular season against the Timberwolves next Tuesday.

Dalton Knecht - Explodes for 35 points in OT win Knecht finished with 35 points (10-18 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, an assist, two steals and two blocks across 32 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 128-122 preseason wi...
Impact It wouldn't be a stretch to say Knecht was the reason why the Lakers got the win Thursday, as the rookie drained two clutch threes nearing the end of the fourth quarter to force overtime and was constantly stepping up on offense when the team needed him the most. Knecht will open the season on a bench role for the Lakers, but based on what he did during the preseason, head coach JJ Redick will have to find a way to give him consistent minutes. He's already one of the best shooters in the roster, and that's an ability that will always have plus value when playing alongside LeBron James.

Jarred Vanderbilt - To miss start of season Head coach JJ Redick stated Thursday that Vanderbilt's (foot) status will be updated in two weeks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact The Lakers were hopeful that Vanderbilt would be ready for the start of the regular season Tuesday against the Timberwolves, but following Thursday's update, he's set to miss at least the first five matchups of the 2024-25 campaign. Redick noted that Vanderbilt hasn't suffered any sort of setback, so perhaps the team's initial timetable for a return was a bit ambitious.

Max Christie - Returns to starting lineup Christie will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Suns, head coach JJ Redick told Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.
Impact Christie will start in place of LeBron James, who will be rested for this matchup. Christie is expected to hold a steady role off the bench in the 2024-25 season for the Lakers.

Cam Reddish - Starting vs. Suns Reddish will start Thursday's preseason game against Phoenix, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Reddish will start in place of LeBron James, who's getting the night off. The Duke product should see more opportunities Thursday after logging only eight minutes Tuesday against Golden State.
OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Hachimura - Out due to calf injury Hachimura is dealing with calf tightness and won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Lakers will be cautious and will sit out both LeBron James (rest) and Hachimura, meaning Cam Reddish and Max Christie will start as replacements. It remains to be seen if Hachimura will be able to feature in the preseason finale against the Warriors on Friday, but those chances are slim.
OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
LeBron James - Healthy scratch Thursday James (rest) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Suns, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Impact James was absent from shootaround earlier in the day, so it appears the team is simply giving him a full day off. He'll have one more chance to play during the preseason Friday against the Warriors.
