Could Collin Sexton's Return Mean a Starting Lineup Change? Plus Is a 6-0 Start Coming for Lakers?

It seemed like Collin Sexton would make his Lakers debut in the opener on Wednesday, but alas he was given one more game to rest.  Well, now he's completely off the injury list, so while there could (and likely will) be some restrictions on Sexton, he'll be able to deliver some of what he brings to the rotation. It starts with outside shooting and rim pressure, and extends to the support he brings the Lakers as a ball handler behind Luka and Reaves.  It will also make a bench unit that provided real scoring punch on Wednesday with even more juice. The question, though, is how it might over the long term impact the start lineup. Would it make more sense with Sexton available to shift Quentin Grimes to the starting lineup? Maybe not Friday against the Clippers, but over the long term?  Plus, Friday's game is part of an early stretch offering the Lakers an incredible opportunity to get off to a strong start. They'll see the Clippers twice, Utah, Golden State again and Portland (at home) before the Raptors visit Crypto.com to kick off the November slate. That means the Lakers should be no worse than 5-1, and have a chance to be undefeated through the end of October.    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky    SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get Sexton back.    SEGMENT 2: Should that change the starting lineup?    SEGMENT 3: The scheduling gods are smiling on the Lakers.    PHOTO CREDIT: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images   ### **Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!** **Indeed** Listeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at http://Indeed.com/podcast.   **PrizePicks** Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNBA and use code **LOCKEDONNBA** and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup! **Odoo** **Great organizations win because operations matter.
