The Los Angeles Lakers are still waiting for preseason appearances from center Walker Kessler and guard Collin Sexton, as both players deal with lingering injuries. Coverage from Yahoo Sports and the Los Angeles Times says coach JJ Redick is unsure when they will play in a game.
Both Walker Kessler and Collin Sexton have not yet debuted in the Lakers’ preseason. The New York Post reports Redick indicates the team is not committed to a specific return date, citing Kessler’s jammed finger and noting he has missed all three exhibition games so far. Other outlets frame the situation more generally as ongoing recovery, with no set timeline for either player’s return. Overall, the outlets agree the uncertainty is driven by health and availability rather than coaching or lineup decisions.
