News: 8 hours agoLakers head coach JJ Redick said Kessler participated in Saturday's practice but didn't do live work, though the center might scrimmage Sunday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Spin: If Kessler scrimmages Sunday and everything goes according to plan, the big man could make his Lakers debut Tuesday against Golden State. Kessler jammed his finger early in training camp and has missed three straight games, but by all accounts, it's not a long-term issue.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kessler was limited by shoulder surgery to only five games last season but should be returned to health for this, his first campaign with the Lakers. Kessler has been brought in to be the Lakers' franchise big man: an anchor on defense and a finisher on offense. Kessler is one of the best shot-blockers in the NBA and an athletic finisher around the rim, exactly the prototype for the type of big that thrives next to Luka Doncic. If he stays healthy, Kessler should be poised for the best season of his career with top-50 upside in points leagues and top-30 in categories.
