What happened: Dalton Knecht and Chris Manon joined Jarred Vanderbilt in the fourth-quarter group. The 13 ahead are Doncic, Reaves, Grimes, Williams, Kessler, Sexton, Thybulle, LaRavia, Mamukelashvili, Looney, Thiero, James and Carr.

Why it matters: Placement outside the 13-man group defines opening-night availability. Fourth-quarter minutes with reserves test fit without changing the planned rotation.

What to watch: Watch whether Vanderbilt rejoins the main group in the scheduled Lakers-Warriors outing.
