For the first time in approximately 150 years, Lebron James will be sidelined with injury to start an NBA season. That stinks for everyone, but especially for Lakers fans.

On the court, the silver lining is that fans will get a (brief) preview of how the Lakers' likely backcourt of the future — Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves — fares without LeBron in the lineup.
