Grizzlies vs Lakers final score, highlights: Luka Doncic scores 44 points to take down Memphis
The Memphis Grizzlies couldn't hold a 14-point halftime lead in a loss against the Los Angeles Lakers at FedExForum.
James will be on the bench again when the Lakers match up against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Before the regular season commenced, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that James’ sciatica would result in a three-to-four-week absence.
The Lakers’ 2-2 start to the 2025-26 season has come without LeBron James, who has been battling a sciatica injury, opening the door for fellow forward Austin Reaves to take the baton for coach J.J. Redick’s team.
The Los Angeles Lakers will be without the services of at least four players when they take on the Miami Heat at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, but Deandre Ayton is unlikely to join that group on the sidelines.
A major reason for their strong play has been the emergence of Austin Reaves, who’s stepped up as the team’s clear third-best player. Reaves has been a revelation for the Lakers. He's in his fifth season in the purple and gold and has improved year in and year out.
