Luka Dončić looked like an NBA MVP candidate during the Los Angeles Lakers’ 127-105 win over the Golden State Warriors.

But looks can be deceiving, or at least tiresome over a prolonged period of time.

This is why Warriors star forward Draymond Green doesn’t believe Dončić can win the NBA MVP award, which he conveyed when speaking to The Athletic for an article that was published on Friday.

“Nah, I don’t think there’s anything that [Dončić] can do [to win MVP]. And by the way, it’s not a knock on him. I don’t think there is anything that he can do. If they’re the 1, 2, 3 seed — great. It’s still Luka Dončić,” Green was quoted as saying.

“No one is going to be surprised that Luka Dončić’s team is the 4 seed. Nobody. He’s that good. There’s no element of surprise if his team is the fourth seed,” he added.

“I just think, ultimately, he gets screwed because of it. And it’s probably a little unfair. Anybody else puts those numbers up, and they’re walking away with the MVP. Like, home free. That’s why I made the comparison to [LeBron James]. He’s got, what, four MVPs? You’re telling me he wasn’t the best player in the NBA for at least 10 seasons? It’s greatness fatigue,” Green continued.

In other words, Green believes that Dončić — whose 33.5 points per game last season led the league — has been great for so long, that the basketball community has become numb to this sustained greatness. And that’s what will ultimately keep him from winning MVP.

Perhaps Dončić can prove Green wrong.

During JJ Redick’s tenure as the Lakers head coach, the team has gotten off to strong starts to seasons. 

They have a golden opportunity to do so again this year. 

And considering what’s waiting for them in the winter, it’s an opportunity they have to capitalize on.

The Lakers are projected to have one of the league’s easiest schedules through the first 10 games of the season for each team when accounting for opponents’ projected over/under win total for the 2026-27 season. 

While they have matchups against respectable opponents who are projected to be playoff contenders in the first couple of weeks of the season, such as the Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 matchups against the Raptors and Heat, respectively, or even two games against the Trail Blazers (Tuesday and Nov. 6), they still have a favorable schedule to open the season compared to most teams.

When accounting for Friday’s home game against the Clippers, the Lakers have four combined matchups against their in-city rival and the Warriors, who they blew out to open the season on Wednesday, within the first three weeks of the season. 

Both teams are expected to fight for a spot in the play-in tournament.

The Jazz, who the Lakers will play on Sunday in Salt Lake City, also fit the mold of a team expected to be fighting for a spot in the tournament that the Lakers should have an early advantage against.

It’s no secret that the top of the Western Conference, and the six guaranteed playoff spots, are going to be a battle to claim. 

The Lakers are projected to compete with the Nuggets, Rockets and Timberwolves for spots Nos. 3-6 in the West’s standings, with the Thunder and Spurs battling for the top two spots. 

They’re no strangers to what a strong start to a season can do for a team. 

The Lakers’ 10-4 start to 2024-25 helped them achieve their first 50-win season in a few years despite the roster changes, which included acquiring superstar guard Luka Doncic in February 2025.

Starting the 2025-26 season 15-4 helped them withstand injuries to key players and subpar play from December-February before tearing it up in March en route to a 53-win season.

It would behoove the Lakers to get off to another strong start this year considering it should be easier for them compared to most teams.

One team will leave TD Garden with an even 1-1 record after tonight’s game between two winless clubs, the Knicks and Celtics. No stars appear on the injury report. Fun Fact: These franchises have played more regular-season games against each other than any other NBA pair. And, yes, tonight we’ll see Benedict Robinson in Celtic green. Prepare the vomit bucket!

The Dallas Mavericks (0-1) stay on the road to start the season, matching up against the Indiana Pacers (1-0) on Friday night. The Mavericks are looking for a win after getting throttled by the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Indiana held off the New Orleans Pelicans to start the season, winning 123-120 in Tyrese Haliburton’s return to the court after missing the entire 2025-26 season due to injury. Here’s the main things to know:

• WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Indiana Pacers
• WHAT: Staying on the road for the second game of the season
• WHERE: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana
• WHEN: 6:00 pm CST
• HOW: KFAA

The injury report remains the same for Dallas: Dereck Lively and Santi Aldama are out, same as they have been since the start of training camp. Tarik Biberovic is missing the game with heel bursitis. Caleb Martin is missing the game with a thumb sprain. Jett Howard is doubtful with a right calf issue.

The Pacers are without TJ McConnell, due to a hamstring injury. Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard are questionable as of this writing.

This will be the home debut for the Pacers and Haliburton’s first game since going down with the Achilles tear in game seven of the 2024 NBA Finals. Dallas will battle both the emotions in that building as well as a very solid Pacers team. The Mavericks must play better transition defense or the Pacers may quickly put this one away. Dallas, particularly their big men, need to rebound the ball better than they did against the Rockets.

Previously with the Warriors:

Golden State’s season got off to a rough start Wednesday night with a 127-105 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. While the Warriors managed to keep pace in the first quarter, the game quickly got out of hand, largely due to their lack of depth. Starting shooting guard Brandin Podziemski was ruled out prior to the game with a back injury, while an already thin frontcourt missing starting center Kristaps Porzingis was further depleted by the absence of Charles Bassey.

As a result, the Warriors had no answer for new Lakers big man Walker Kessler, who dominated the paint with 26 points on a perfect 12-of-12 shooting from the field, including 11 dunks. Golden State’s defensive struggles were on full display as Los Angeles built a lead as large as 35 points before ultimately handing the Warriors their first loss of the season.

Hell of a debut for Walker Kessler. The game looked so easy for him with Luka and Reaves generating shots.

Kessler has never played with guards as good as them, and they've never played with a big that fits as well as Kessler.

Better tests are ahead than the tiny Warriors… https://t.co/otsMjMAE0jpic.twitter.com/Jjfa8CDtXf

What to watch for tonight:

The Warriors will look to bounce back Friday night against the Grizzlies, with one player worth keeping an eye on being rookie forward Yaxel Lendeborg. The 11th overall pick made headlines during his NBA debut Wednesday night after exchanging words with Lakers superstar Luka Doncic, who finished with a game-high 28 points. Lendeborg’s willingness to challenge the five-time All-Star drew support from his veteran teammates after the game, and the rookie backed up his confidence with a solid debut outing of 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal.

Draymond Green on Yaxel Lendeborg going at Luka Doncic: “Everyone will say the rookie learned his lesson. What he learn? The next time he see him, go at his ass again.”

Now, he’ll look to build on that performance in his home debut against a Grizzlies team featuring a highly touted rookie of their own in big man Cam Boozer, the third overall pick in this year’s draft.

This is now an open thread

Update, 1:25 p.m.: LeBron James has officially been ruled out Saturday night vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.

---

And now we get our first glimpse of how the Sixers will manage back-to-backs this season.

Philadelphia released their injury report ahead of their matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks Saturday and they’ve listed LeBron James as questionable with back management. Joel Embiid was not listed at all, indicating those two will be staggered across the weekend. Embiid said after their home opener win that he was only going to play in one of them, and it’s safe to assume that will be the case for LeBron as well.

The Sixers should be able to dispense of the Bucks without James’ services. Milwaukee is playing on short rest themselves, having hosted the Chicago Bulls on Friday. How the Embiid-less Sixers fare against the size of the Detroit Pistons on Sunday will be a much harder challenge.

The rest of the injury report remains the same as it was for the first two games of the season. Dean Wade is again listed as questionable with an ankle sprain. He has yet to make his Sixers debut since rolling his left ankle in the team’s final preseason game. Dominick Barlow remains out, still over a week a way from his next evaluation, and Tacko Fall is out as well with his quad injury.

The Sixers have an injury report for tomorrow's game vs. Milwaukee:

LeBron James — back management — QUESTIONABLE

Dean Wade – ankle – QUESTIONABLE

Dominick Barlow – back – OUT

Tacko Fall – quad – OUT

This is the front end of a back-to-back.

Jake LaRavia’s “Iron Man” streak with the Lakers will come to an end on Friday night. 

The fifth-year forward will sit out of his team’s home game against the Clippers at Crypto.com Arena because of a sprained right ankle that he suffered during the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s season-opening win over the Warriors. 

It’s LaRavia’s first missed regular season game because of an injury or illness since he signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Lakers in July 2025 after having played in all 82 regular season games in 2025-26.

He was one of 18 players to play in 82 regular season games last season.

LaRavia played in 90 straight games, the 82 regular season games and eight playoff games, in 2025-26 before being a DNP-CD (did not play, coach’s decision) for the Lakers’ final two playoff games of their four-game second round sweep against the Thunder.

The 6-foot-8 forward suffered the ankle injury midway through the fourth quarter, with the Lakers up by 33 points, when he attempted to drive into the paint with LJ Cryer guarding him.

Cryer impeded the drive, with the 2022 first-round draft pick awkwardly twisting his right ankle/lower leg before hobbling and falling to the floor.

LaRavia laid on the court and writhed in pain before team trainers helped him back to the bench.

He was able to put weight on the leg before going back to the locker room after subbing out of the game.

While coach JJ Redick didn’t have an update on the veteran forward immediately after the game, he was encouraged about his status compared to how it felt in the immediate aftermath of the injury.

“I’m probably more positive than when it first happened,” Redick said.

LaRavia was having a strong game before going down with the injury, scoring 10 points on 4 of 5 shooting off of the bench.

“I saw him being himself,” Redick said. “Again when he is shooting with confidence and making catch-and-shoot 3s, that’s an added bonus. We have a group of guys that do a lot of things to impact winning that don’t necessarily show up in the box score, certainly won’t show up in a highlight reel on Instagram. He’s a winning player.”

The former Wake Forest Demon Deacon was seen on an exercise bike alongside Adou Thiero, who’s also sidelined because of left knee swelling, at shootaround Friday morning before being ruled out.

The Golden State Warriors are set for their home opener tonight, as they host the Memphis Grizzlies. The Dubs are hoping to collect their first win of the season, but, needless to say, it won’t be easy given how many improvements they need to make following Wednesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

It also won’t be easy because the Warriors are once again dealing with some notable injuries and absences, though they’re hopefully getting some reinforcements as well. Here’s the full injury report.

Warriors

Out — Charles Bassey (right patellar tendinopathy)

Bassey, who was injured in last week’s preseason finale, missed Wednesday’s opener and will miss today’s game as well. The Dubs will certainly be hoping that Bassey makes some significant improvements in the next 24 hours, because they’ll be deeply undermanned at center on Saturday in Phoenix, as Al Horford won’t be available in the second half of the back-to-back.

Out — Jimmy Butler III (right ACL repair surgery)
Out — Moses Moody (left patellar tendon repair surgery)

No new news for either of these two. The team is likely targeting a return around the All-Star break for each of them.

Out — Kristaps Porziņģis(not with team)

Also no new news for Porziņģis, who seems likely to have played his final game for the team … and possibly in the NBA.

Probable — Brandin Podziemski (bilateral low back soreness)

And finally some good news! Podziemski looks primed to make his season debut, after some late-occurring preseason back soreness kept him out of the opening night loss. Playmaking and shot creation beyond Steph Curry was a huge concern on Wednesday, and Podziemski should really help there.

Grizzlies

Doubtful — Cedric Coward (left wrist sprain)

Last year’s 11th overall pick figures to build on a successful rookie campaign, when he started over half of Memphis’ games, averaged 13.6 points, and finished fifth in Rookie of the Year voting. He’ll be in the Grizzlies’ starting five when healthy, but suffered a mild wrist injury in Wednesday’s opener.

Questionable — Isaiah Stewart (left ankle sprain)

After spending his first six seasons with the Detroit Pistons, Beef Stew is now on the Grizzlies, where he’ll provide a veteran presence at center next to young bigs Cameron Boozer, Zach Edey, and former Warrior Quinten Post. He didn’t play in Memphis’ season-opening victory over the Utah Jazz, and is questionable to debut tonight.

Enjoy the game, everyone! It tips off at 7:00 p.m. PT from the Chase Center on NBC Sports Bay Area.

Collin Sexton was hoping he could’ve been on the floor for the Lakers’ season-opening blowout win over the Warriors.

He felt “pretty close” to playing on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena as he worked his way back from a strained right soleus (calf) that sidelined him for the entire preseason.

But the 6-foot-3 guard needed a little bit more time before he was ready to make his season debut.

The wait will end on Friday night when the Lakers host the Clippers in their second game of the regular season, with Sexton set to make his debut for his new team after being removed from the injury report.

“I’m super excited,” he said after Friday’s shootaround. “Look forward to it. Just ready to get out there and get it to the guys and be back playing some basketball again.”

Sexton expects to be on a playing time restriction when he makes his season debut but wasn’t sure how many minutes he’d be allowed to play as of Friday morning.

“I haven’t talked to [coach JJ Redick] just yet, but we’ll go over it after shootaround,” he said.

The No. 8 pick in the 2018 draft said it was “definitely disappointing” to sit out of the season opener. 

But it allowed him to apply his focus elsewhere.

“One thing I was able to do is just stay present, just continue to be a leader, and continue to use my voice as much as I can,” Sexton said. “Just continue to come in with the right attitude and the right approach. Sometimes those are things – the only thing you can control, so that’s how it goes.”

The former Alabama guard was also able to witness Walker Kessler, who he was teammates with in Utah from 2022-25, have a historic performance in his Lakers debut.

The 7-foot-2 center scored 26 points on a perfect 12-for-12 shooting performance in the Lakers’ dominant win over the Warriors. 

He became just the second player in Lakers franchise history to make at least 12 field goals without missing, joining Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 34 points on 14-for-14 shooting in 1969.

And his 10 dunks were the most by a Laker since Shaquille O’Neal in 2003, according to ESPN, and the most dunks by a player in the league’s play-by-play era (since 1996-97)

“Walker had a great game,” Sexton said. “It was one of those games where [he] just let the jitters out. So, it was pretty cool to see him start his Laker debut like that. I was super excited for him.”

Jaylen Brown isn’t buying ex-teammate Jayson Tatum’s reaction to his trade over the summer.

In an interview posted to his YouTube account, Tatum explained that he was “just as caught off guard as the rest of the world” when Brown was traded to the 76ers over the summer. Tatum claimed he was told personally about the trade by ESPN insider Shams Charania following a pickup game in Las Vegas.

“Shams walks over, he hands me the towel,” Tatum said. “He’s like, ‘Yo, put this over your face. Don’t react. They just traded him.’

“I said, ‘We traded him down the street?’” Tatum explained.

Brown commented a cap emoji on a clip of the interview, insinuating that he doesn’t believe that was Tatum’s reaction to the blockbuster trade.

Tatum also discussed his and Brown’s relationship after nearly a decade together on the Celtics.

“Every time I stepped on the court, that’s when it was time to go to war,” Tatum said. “I looked to my left and my right, and No. 7 was over there, I knew that he was going to do everything it took for us to try to win.

“The way we pushed each other, I definitely made him better, and he made me better. And we made our team better, we made the organization better. We won a championship. We are forever stitched in stone in NBA history. We held up that trophy. It won’t ever be forgotten.”

After news of the Brown trade broke, Charania reported on the state of Brown and Tatum’s off-the-court relationship.

“It is a tale of two different people,” Charania explained. “On the court, they were great, but over the last year or so, that personal relationship, it was as close to non-existent as you could have.”

At his 76ers introduction, Brown seemed unhappy with how the Celtics handled the trade and said he and Tatum had “not really” spoken since the trade went through.

Brown and Tatum won the 2024 title together, their second Finals appearance after losing to the Warriors in 2022. They never missed the playoffs in nine seasons spent together in Boston.
