Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves show why they click in Lakers' preseason win

Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves sparked the Los Angeles Lakers’ 114‑110 preseason victory over the Sacramento Kings, combining for 31 points and showcasing a fluid backcourt partnership. The duo connected on the opening possession, with Reaves feeding Doncic for a basket that drew a foul, and later each contributed key moments, including a 31‑foot one‑legged three‑pointer from Doncic and a baseline layup by Reaves.

Both players logged 25 minutes; Doncic shot 6‑for‑16 for 23 points while Reaves added eight points, eight assists and five rebounds. Coach JJ Redick praised their chemistry, noting the advantage of having two ball‑handlers on the floor at all times.

The game also saw Walker Kessler and Collin Sexton miss their third straight preseason outing, and Ziaire Williams sit out with soreness, while Kessler’s finger injury remains under observation. The win took place at Crypto.com Arena.
