What happened: Austin Reaves said LeBron James' daily work to stay available stood out from their time together. Reaves will spend this season with former Los Angeles Lakers strength coach Ed Streit as a dedicated trainer, per sources.

Why it matters: Availability is central for Los Angeles as Reaves takes on a larger offensive role entering 2026-27. Continuity with Streit keeps him in a program familiar with the team's strength standards.

What to watch: Watch camp workload and availability with the roster cut to 15 due Oct. 20.
