What happened: Sexton spent Saturday working with Ty Abbott as Los Angeles moves through the opening days of camp. The session adds to his preseason ramp-up after his two-year, $19 million deal became official in July.

Why it matters: The Lakers signed Sexton to bolster their guard depth for the 2026-27 season, so extra on-court work matters as roles sort out early in camp. It also extends a busy start to camp for Sexton in his first Lakers preseason.

What to watch: Watch where Sexton opens in the preseason guard rotation and how much on-ball work he gets in exhibition minutes. Those early reps should clarify how Los Angeles plans to use him off the bench.
