What happened: JJ Redick gave the health update as the Lakers opened training camp for the 2026-27 season. A couple of players are not yet full-go in contact work but are expected to be cleared this week.
Why it matters: A clean camp lets Redick evaluate two open starting spots beside the core trio. Los Angeles must trim its roster to 15 by Oct. 20.
What to watch: Watch for full-contact participation later this week and Redick's first starting-five looks.
