The magical rise of Austin Reaves continued to lead a full night of NBA action across the league. Reaves joined superstars like Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokić, and Ja Morant to have strong moments to start a red-hot regular season. Ten games took place with two thirds of the league active with important games for seeding purposes.

LeBron James is sidelined for the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA Cup opener against the Memphis Grizzlies due to sciatica. The 40-year-old star's absence, expected to last several weeks, forces the Lakers to adapt under new coach JJ Redick.

The Lakers are widely expected to re-sign Reaves, ideally as the No. 2 next to Luka Doncic, but they can't let him walk for nothing.
