He\u2019s expected to be reevaluated in about a week, according to the Lakers.<\/p>\nThat\u2019s another blow for Los Angeles, which isn\u2019t expected to have LeBron James (sciatica) back until mid-November.<\/p>\n

Zach LaVine scored 32 points to lead six players in double figures for the Kings. <\/p>\n
DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points, Domantas Sabonis had 10 points and 14 rebounds, while Dennis Schroder added 18 points and 12 assists.<\/p>\n
Even without their top two scoring options, the Lakers got going early and took a 10-point lead in the first quarter.<\/p>\n
Hachimura had 10 points in the first nine minutes of the game while Ayton and Marcus Smart each scored seven points as Los Angeles led 31-21.<\/p>\n
The Kings made seven 3s in the second quarter \u2013 three from Westbrook \u2013 to tie the game at halftime.<\/p>\n
