Austin Reaves, Quentin Grimes, Matisse Thybulle, Jake LaRavia and Walker Kessler will start Sunday’s game against the Pistons.
The Lakers won’t have Luka Dončić on Sunday, as he’s out with lower back spasms. Grimes will replace him in the lineup, and he started for the MVP candidate in an October 28 win over the Clippers. Dončić’s absence also means that the Lakers will look to Reaves to initiate even more offense.
