Jackson will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Kings, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Jackson got the start Friday due to Cedric Coward (wrist) being out, but he will return to a reserve role Sunday with Coward back in action. In two appearances, Jackson is averaging 7.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 17.0 minutes per contest.

Reaves finished with 29 points (7-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT), one rebound, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 victory over the Jazz.

The Lakers have gone 3-0 to begin the season, and Reaves has played a significant role in the hot start. He's churning out first-round value, averaging 26.7 points, 6.3 assists, 2.7 triples, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game on 63.9 percent shooting from the field and 89.7 percent at the stripe.

Doncic posted 52 points (17-30 FG, 8-18 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 win over the Jazz.

Doncic put on a masterclass during Sunday's matinee, helping the Lakers claw back from an early 18-point deficit as he notched his first 50-point performance of the season. It was the 10th 50-point game of Doncic's career, and he became just the third Laker in franchise history to tally 50-plus points and 10 assists in a game, joining Elgin Baylor and Jerry West.

Williams won't return to Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right wrist soreness, Nick Crain of SLAM reports.

The Thunder will be shorthanded in the frontcourt for the rest of the game since Williams sees plenty of minutes as Isaiah Hartenstein's backup at center. He went scoreless (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and didn't record a single stat in five minutes. His status should be considered questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday against the Suns.

Wallace (shoulder) will not return to Sunday's game against the Clippers, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

Wallace exited for the locker room with an apparent left shoulder injury during the first quarter and will not be able to return. Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell figure to see expanded roles with Wallace out. The Thunder play the second half of their back-to-back set Monday against the Suns, so it wouldn't be surprising for Wallace to miss time.

Lopez (knee) is out for Sunday's game in Sacramento.

Lopez is dealing with a bone bruise in his right knee, so it wouldn't be shocking if this turned into a multi-game absence for the rookie. That said, he has not been in the rotation this season, so this injury won't impact Memphis' game plan.

Coward (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Coward sat out Friday's 111-108 win over the Warriors with a left wrist sprain, but he's back and available after a one-game absence. He started his lone appearance this season, tallying seven points, seven rebounds, two assists and a block in 28 minutes.

Joe went back to the locker room due to an apparent tailbone injury, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

Joe took a hard fall on a dunk attempt, appearing to injure his tailbone before exiting for the locker room. If he is unable to return, Kevin Huerter and Ebuka Okorie could see extra minutes.

Zubac (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Nets.

Zubac left the game in the first quarter after rolling his left ankle and will not be able to return. Indiana plays the second half of the back-to-back set tomorrow against the Bucks, making it likely that Zubac will be forced to miss time. Jay Huff figures to see an expanded role while Zubac is out.

Wallace went back to the locker room with an apparent shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the Clippers, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman

Wallace drew an offensive foul on Isaiah Jackson and immediately went back to the locker room. He should be considered questionable to return.
