In an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Luka Dončić (hamstring) will be re-evaluated on Tuesday after undergoing treatment in Spain over the last week.
Shams notes that Dončić and Austin Reaves (oblique) are unlikely to be available for the Lakers’ first-round series against the Rockets. Filling the void left by LA’s superstars will be no easy task, and the Lakers will tackle the issue using a platoon approach. Luke Kennard, Jake LaRavia and Rui Ha...
Shams CharaniaRui Hachimura posted a double-double on Sunday with 22 points (8-of-12 FGs), 10 rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers against the Jazz.
Hachimura has been on a hot streak recently, having scored in double figures in five straight games. However, this was his best game of the stretch, as it was his highest-scoring outing since January and his first double-double of the season. With the status of Luka Dončić (hamstring) and Austin Rea...
Deandre Ayton lit up the Jazz on Sunday with 22 points (10-of-14 FGs), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in a 131-107 win.
It has been an up-and-down first year with the Lakers for Ayton, but he ended the regular season on a high note. This was his first 20-point double-double in a month, and he was also able to make an impact as a shot blocker. The health of Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves are the two biggest questions f...
Dalton Knecht provided a boost off the bench with 17 points (6-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers against the Jazz on Sunday.
Knecht hasn’t played much during his second season in the league, but he got the opportunity in the blowout win. He took advantage and stuffed the stat sheet, but he’ll likely be back on the bench for the playoffs. Still, this was a productive game for him, and it may lead to a team being interested...
LeBron James (foot) is available for Sunday’s game against the Jazz.
James was initially listed as questionable as he continues to manage a foot injury. While the 41-year-old forward is available, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Lakers prioritize getting LeBron some rest as the game goes on.
Jaxson Hayes (foot) has been ruled out against the Jazz on Sunday.
Hayes will remain sidelined for a fourth straight game, which means the Lakers will turn to Jarred Vanderbilt and Maxi Kleber for the backup center minutes. However, that hasn’t led to much production for either player.
NBA Injury ReportESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Lakers signed Nick Smith Jr. to a two-year deal.
Sunday’s transaction ensures that Smith will be available for the playoffs, a needed move since the Lakers are unlikely to have Luka Dončić (hamstring) or Austin Reaves (oblique) for the first round. The 27th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Smith has played between 11 and 13 minutes in each of the L...
Shams CharaniaJarred Vanderbilt finished Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder with three points (1-of-1 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer.
With LeBron James and Jaxson Hayes joining Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart on the sidelines for Tuesday’s game, Vanderbilt appeared well-positioned to play increased minutes. However, he lasted only one four-minute stint, with Lakers head coach JJ Redick benching the forward for the rest...
Law MurrayDrew Timme accounted for 11 points (4-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder.
With LeBron James (foot) out and the Thunder starting Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, Timme made his first start of the season on Tuesday. He played reasonably well, reaching double figures for the third time in 24 appearances. The Lakers’ final three games of the regular season include back-t...
Austin Reaves (oblique) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique muscle injury and will miss the rest of the regular season.
Reaves was injured early in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. While he continued to play through the injury, the Lakers’ guard appeared to be a shell of himself. With Saturday’s update, the Lakers will finish the regular season without two of their best players, as Luka Dončić (hamstring) was also inj...
Mike TrudellJake LaRavia finished with 14 points (5-of-5 FGs), seven rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers on Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
This was LaRavia’s fifth straight game as a starter, with the most recent start before that coming before the All-Star break. He had some solid stretches earlier this year, but March was a rough month for him. This was his only double-digit scoring game of the month, and it took him not missing a sh...
Adou Thiero (knee) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers.
Thiero has missed the last three games with a knee injury, but he will be available against Cleveland. However, even when available, he has rarely seen the floor this season.
NBA Injury ReportMaxi Kleber (back) is available for Monday’s matchup with the Pistons.
Kleber’s return is timely, as Rui Hachimura and Marcus Smart will both be sidelined. Extra playing time could be available for Kleber, but he’s not worth rostering in fantasy hoops.
NBA Injury ReportBronny James (leg) is available for Tuesday’s matchup with the Nets.
James will return following a one-game absence, but his availability has no impact in the realm of fantasy hoops.
