    So when you re-index, you move the data around. That would make the non-clustered indexes invalid right?

    Nope. Nonclustered indexes don't contain the row's physical location when the table is a cluster.

    So it must update those indexes, just not rebuild them.

    Nope. Not touched in any way.
