A starting lineup in sports refers to the set of players actively participating in the event when the game begins. The players in the starting lineup are commonly referred to as starters, whereas the others are substitutes tonight when they play the Lakers in an exhibition game in Anaheim, partly because of Sura's strained right calf but mostly because of how well Arenas has played.

Arenas, a second-round draft pick last year who started his rookie year on injured reserve only to finish in the starting lineup, is trying to convince people he can play point guard full time. Arenas has played shooting guard for most of his career, although he's always flashed point-guard skills with his passing and dribble-penetration abilities. ``By now, everybody knows I can score the basketball, and I have natural abilities that a lot of people don't have out there,'' Arenas said. ``The question was, can I get everyone else involved? Obviously, I can.'' Musselman said he will take his time determining who will open the regular season in the starting lineup. ...

Riney is one of the top returning players in the area, but obviously his status remains uncertain. ``I think the kids are doing a good job of moving forward,'' Levine said. ``Obviously it was a shock, and he's a great player, but this is a part of life and we have to deal with it.'' It will be difficult to replace Riney's offensive production, but Levine is encouraged by a group of talented young players. ``That's to be determined at another date,'' Levine said. ``But we have talent.'' ... Softball pitcher Sara Radabaugh of Oaks Christian of Westlake Village is considering offers from St. Mary's and Santa Clara.
