Three takeaways from today’s Lakers practice https://t.co/guBzY9msqD Via @jovanbuha on X

What happened: The Los Angeles Lakers limited Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton and Arthur Kaluma at Saturday's practice. Kessler did not participate in live scrimmaging as he recovers from a jammed finger. Sexton and Kaluma were also restricted while managing lower-body injuries.

Why it matters: Head coach JJ Redick is taking a cautious approach with the roster ahead of the regular season. Keeping the rotation pieces out of full contact ensures they do not aggravate existing issues during the preseason schedule.

What to watch: Kessler could return to scrimmaging on Sunday to prepare for Tuesday's preseason game against Golden State.
