Why it matters: That keeps attention on Sexton's move to the Lakers as rotations start to sort out for October. Early camp pecking-order clues can shape how the backcourt opens the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch where Sexton slots once exhibition minutes begin and the Lakers start sorting second-unit guard roles.
