The Lakers are off to a 6–2 start without James, highlighted by the stellar play of their other superstar Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. In four games played this year, Dončić is averaging a whopping 41.3 points per game while Reaves has scored 31.1 points a night in seven appearances.

Bronny James' six assists came with no turnover. He is the only Lakers player to achieve this rare feat since his father in January.
