The Golden State Warriors wrapped up their preseason with a narrow loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but the real storyline was who didn’t play.Both Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga sat out the preseason finale,

There was more disorder than order in the Golden State Warriors' 2025 NBA preseason finale on Friday night at Chase Center.

The Lakers started Luka Dončić, Gabe Vincent, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachiumra and Deandre Ayton in a Friday night preseason matchup with the Sacramento Kings, per NBA reporter Jovan Buha. Lakers head coach JJ Redick said this lineup would serve as a preview for Tuesday night's season opener against the visiting Golden State Warriors, per Buha.

The Lakers, who open the season Tuesday vs. Golden State, are adjusting to being without LeBron James, which affects the starting rotation, defense and more.

The Lakers built a lead up to 21 with their defensive activity. The Warriors went on a run to cut it to 14 late in the first half, although Reaves was fouled on a triple at the buzzer and made three free throws to give L.A. a 63-46 lead at the break.

Luka Doncic is doing his best to bring the Los Angeles Lakers closer, planning a recent visit to the Porsche Driving Experience for some team bonding. Golden State star Jimmy Butler is finding ways to build camaraderie,

“Reaves and his representatives turned down a four-year, nearly $90 million contract extension offer from the Lakers in June, setting himself up to test unrestricted free agency next summer and sign a new deal worth well over $100 million,” ESPN’s Dave McMenamin wrote.
