James has yet to appear in a game this season, and based on Redick’s pregame comments, he’s still a few weeks away. While there is no specific timeline for a return, Redick noted that the team is eyeing the second or third week of November. That means the Lakers will continue to lean heavily on Austin Reaves, and when he returns, Luka Dončić. While Jarred Vanderbilt’s playing time has increased, he does not offer much offensive value.
