What happened: JJ Redick said Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves have scrimmaged on opposite sides through two days of camp. Redick said he anticipates staggering the two guards during the regular season. He named Collin Sexton, Quentin Grimes, Bronny James and Jaden Hardy as reserves able to help carry non-overlapping minutes.

Why it matters: Staggering keeps a primary creator on the floor without pairing both guards for every possession. Trust in four reserves points to a deeper guard rotation entering the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch whether Doncic and Reaves share a scrimmage side before preseason games begin.
