What happened: Los Angeles is pointing toward a late-October start to the 2026-27 regular season. The roster must be trimmed to 15 by Oct. 20 after recent Exhibit 10 activity.

Why it matters: Camp is next on the calendar with competition for the final standard spots. Los Angeles waived Anton Watson shortly after signing him while adding Meechie Johnson and Chase Ross on Exhibit 10 deals.

What to watch: Watch for camp arrivals and the final cut to 15 by Oct. 20.
