James, out with right-sciatica issues, is cleared for contact and will be re-evaluated mid-November. He has not traveled on the upcoming five-game trip. Lakers are 7-2 without him, with Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves also managing absences. Next phase is controlled 5-on-5, potentially at El Segundo or brief G League affiliate runs during road swing. JJ Redick set no target date. Lakers will maintain Ayton/Reaves usage and defensive schemes while monitoring nerve-load responses.

LeBron will miss the Warriors opener with sciatica. Bronny is day-to-day after an ankle issue; he practiced in a modified capacity. Jaxson Hayes is available. Rotation decisions will track Bronny’s NBA vs G-League balance. The staff emphasises incremental workload progressions and game-readiness thresholds. Redick praised Bronny’s year-over-year development while deferring final minutes to health responses and roster continuity.
