Although Davis' shot was a bit off in the win, he provided solid results on defense with eight grabs off the glass and three blocked shots. Davis was expected to see limited minutes in the preseason, but he's obviously feeling healthy enough to put in some work in early October.

Davis totaled 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three blocked shots, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 win over the Bucks. Although Davis' shot was a bit off in the win, he provided solid results on defense with eight grabs off the glass and three blocked shots. Davis was expected to see limited minutes in the preseason, but he's obviously feeling healthy enough to put in some work in early October.
Knecht compiled 13 points (5-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 win over the Bucks. Knecht had difficulty finding the bottom of the basket on most of his perimeter shots, but the 2024 first-round pick logged the most minutes on the floor Thursday and seems to be getting every opportunity to prove his worth. The Tennessee product's chances for breaking into the first unit are slim, but he seems to have an inside track to a good deal of reserve work.
Hachimura totaled 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist across 24 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 win over the Bucks. Hachimura started once again in the frontcourt with Anthony Davis, a trend that could continue into the regular season. Although Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood are still on the roster, Hachimura seems to have the definitive edge over this teammates and the confidence of new coach JJ Redick.
Christie is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks. Christie will start his second game of the preseason due to the absence of Austin Reaves (ankle) Thursday evening. Christie fared well in the opener with the first unit, recording 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 34 minutes.
Reaves (ankle) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks due to ankle soreness, head coach JJ Redick told Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times. Per Redick, Reaves is dealing with some ankle soreness, but nothing that the coaching staff or the medical staff would be concerned. Reaves' next chance to play will be against the Warriors on Oct. 15, but his goal is expected to be fit and ready for the regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Oct. 22.
Goodwin (hamstring) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks but will operate under a minutes restriction, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Goodwin didn't play against the Suns on Sunday, so his return is certainly a positive sign in his recovery process, even if he has a minutes' restriction.
Hachimura totaled 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 222 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to Phoenix. Hachimura was one of five Lakers players Sunday to score in double digits, and he joined D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves as the only starters to play 20-plus minutes. Entering his sixth year in the league and his second full season with the Lakers, Hachimura will look to expand his role in the frontcourt next to Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
Davis tallied 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns. Davis was the second-leading scorer for the Lakers on Sunday behind LeBron James (19), despite the duo not playing more than 20 minutes. Davis is looking to build off a strong 2023-24 season, during which he averaged 24.7 points on 55.6 percent shooting, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals across 35.5 minutes per game.
