""Oh, he's moving great," Jared Vanderbilt said. "Everything that I've seen from him, he's being vocal. He's leading the charge. He's being everything we need him to be right now. So, we're happy to have him out there right now during this week, him getting some good practices and running with us, and just starting to build that momentum towards the regular season.""
""I think very likely it'll be some form of a ramp-up from tomorrow to whenever the second game is that he plays in," Redick said. "What that looks like in terms of the total minute, I don't know.""

The Lakers plan to prioritize Luka Doncic as a primary ball handler while ramping up his minutes across the preseason. Doncic is expected to play early preseason games, likely sitting out the back-to-back against his former team in Las Vegas and aiming to play against Sacramento before the regular season begins Oct. 21 at home versus Golden State. Practices have shown Doncic moving well, being vocal, and leading teammates. Marcus Smart is cleared to play in the preseason opener. Coaching staff and Doncic's team are still finalizing exact minute allocations for each preseason game.
