Coach Ham reveals the importance of his starting five vs. Warriors without LeBron & Reaves

Lakers basketball is finally back tomorrow when the team will face the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco. LeBron James and Austin Reaves will miss the game, but coach Darvin Ham revealed why the contest is a must-see.

Despite two of the starting five not being available for the start of the preseason, coach Ham won't waste the opportunity, as he is going to use it to evaluate a possible alternative starting five.

According to The Athletic's Jovan Buha "Ham said he'll use a lineup on Saturday against Warriors that he'd like to evaluate for potential regular-season use."

We can expect the starting wing to be revealed tomorrow vs. the Warriors. Rumors have Taurean Prince having the edge over Rui Hachimura and Jarred Vanderbilt.

The reason why Rui Hachimura doesn't mind starting games

For Rui is clear, that he doesn't care about starting a game, he cares about the playing minutes he gets on the floor, and more importantly, Hachimura wants to close the contests.
