The Los Angeles Lakers are nearing the end of their preseason, having won two of four games. In their recent 101-89 loss to the Golden State Warriors, they committed 29 turnovers and scored only 26 points in the second half. Coach JJ Redick attributed the ball security issues to player rotations and a lack of organization, particularly with significant absences like Collin Sexton, who is sidelined with a lower-leg injury. The Lakers will face the Denver Nuggets next, before starting the regular season against the Warriors on October 21.
