Jake LaRavia Injury News & Updates

LaRavia (face) returned to Sunday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

LaRavia left in the first quarter of Sunday's game after taking a hit to the face, but he was cleared to return in the second frame after being evaluated by medical staff. His return means less minutes will be available for Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht.

LaRavia (face) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

LaRavia took a hit to the face late in the first quarter and went to the locker room after being subbed out. Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent are in line for a bump in minutes off the bench for as long as LaRavia is out of the game.

LaRavia will come off the bench Sunday against the 76ers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

LeBron James is back and starting, so LaRavia will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, LaRavia owns averages of 8.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 three-pointers and 1.1 steals per contest.

LaRavia will start Friday's game against the Celtics, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

LaRavia will make his seventh start of the season, stepping in for LeBron James (back). As a starter this season, LaRavia is averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals across 33.3 minutes.

LaRavia notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 victory over Toronto.

LaRavia saw some extra minutes and touches Thursday with Luka Doncic out for personal reasons. For the most part, LaRavia's fantasy appeal has been limited to deeper formats this season. Through 21 games, he's averaging 9.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in25.8 minutes per contest.

LaRavia chipped in 10 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 victory over the Pelicans.

LaRavia has shown the ability to produce in an increased role, but he definitely needs to work on his efficiency, as in his last six games (one start), he averages 6.5 points on just 35.7 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three. With LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) potentially slated to return Monday against Phoenix, LaRavia will likely revert back to playing around 14-20 minutes per game.

LaRavia notched four points (2-2 FG), one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 135-118 win over the Clippers.

LaRavia has been reliable when called upon, but Tuesday was not one of those nights as he only attempted two field goals and played 17 minutes. When LaRavia plays at least 23 minutes, he averages 11.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.3 threes, but with LeBron James back in the mix the former will likely no longer see the court for that long.

LaRavia will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

LaRavia started Saturday's game with a lot of the Lakers' forwards unavailable, but the Lakers will have everyone available for Tuesday's game, which will result in fewer minutes for LaRavia. Through eight games as a reserve this season, LaRavia has posted averages of 9.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 triple and 1.6 steals per contest.

LaRavia is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

The Lakers will be shorthanded at the forward spots without LeBron James (back), Marcus Smart (illness) and Rui Hachimura (calf). Thus, LaRavia will get the starting nod at power forward. LaRavia has been a pleasant surprise for the Lakers this season and is averaging 10.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 13 outings (five starts) this season.

LaRavia won't start in Monday's game against the Hornets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

With Austin Reaves (groin) returning from a three-game absence due to a groin injury, LaRavia will slide to the second unit. In five appearances off the bench this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest.

LaRavia closed with 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-102 loss to the Hawks.

LaRavia continues to find ways to produce on both ends of the court, and he seems to be gaining more and more chances of continuing to see regular minutes in a starting role -- at least until LeBron James (nerve) is ready to return. LaRavia has scored in double digits in all but one of his last six games and has proven to be a reliable all-around asset regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.

LaRavia closed with 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 123-115 win over the Trail Blazers.

LaRavia made his third start of the season Monday with Luka Doncic (rest) and Austin Reaves (groin) sidelined and turned in a well-rounded performance. The wing has shown a strong defensive nose for the ball, recording at least three steals in each of his last three outings. Across his first eight games with the Lakers, LaRavia is averaging 12.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 29.6 minutes per contest, carving out a meaningful role in the rotation early in the season.

LaRavia is starting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

LaRavia is fresh off an impressive 25-point showing Sunday against the Heat, and he'll draw his third start of the season Monday while the Lakers deal with several injuries in the backcourt. The 24-year-old has logged 30-plus minutes in two of his last three appearances, and he'll have a great chance to reach this threshold again in Portland.

LaRavia finished with 25 points (10-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals in 35 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 130-120 victory over Miami.

The fourth-year forward has bounced between the starting five and the second unit this season as the Lakers find ways to cover for the absence of LeBron James (back), but LaRavia is proving to be an asset in either role. Over the last five games (two starts), he's averaging 15.8 points, 6.6 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.8 steals in 31.4 minutes while shooting a stunning 60.4 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (10-for-20) from long distance. James is expected to make his season debut sometime in November, but LaRavia is establishing himself as a key member of the bench in the meantime.

LaRavia produced 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding five rebounds, three steals and two assists in 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 117-112 win over Memphis.

After starting the previous two games, the fourth-year forward got bumped back to the second unit as Luka Doncic returned to action, but LaRavia still delivered a season high in steals while scoring in double digits for the third time in the last four contests. His minutes could shrink further once LeBron James (back) is cleared to return, but LaRavia should still play an important role off the Lakers' bench in the short term.

LaRavia will come off the bench for Friday's game in Memphis, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

LaRavia started the past two games with the Lakers banged up, but Marcus Smart (quad) and Luka Doncic (finger) are back for Friday's game, so LaRavia will return to a reserve role. Through three games as a reserve this season, LaRavia owns averages of 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.4 minutes a night.

LaRavia logged 27 points (10-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves.

Although the Lakers were a shell of themselves with several players out with injury, LaRavia took advantage of the start Wednesday and shot a near-perfect game alongside Austin Reaves, who hit the game-winning shot at the buzzer. LaRavia's performance could shake things up in a rotation that previously featured Marcus Smart (quad) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) in the first unit.

LaRavia is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

LaRavia will make his first start of the season -- and first as a Laker -- with Luka Doncic (finger), Gabe Vincent (ankle) and Marcus Smart (quadriceps) all sidelined. Through three games this season, he's averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.7 minutes per contest.

LaRavia racked up 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 127-120 victory over the Kings.

It was the best game of the young season for LaRavia, who saw increased minutes after Gabe Vincent (ankle) got injured in the third quarter and didn't return. With Luka Doncic (finger) already missing from the Lakers' rotation, pushing Austin Reaves into the backcourt, LaRavia could move into the starting five for Monday's tilt against the Trail Blazers. Through three games, the 23-year-old is averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.7 steals in 25.3 minutes.

LaRavia had five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and three rebounds over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 loss to Golden State.

LaRavia saw a minor workload off the bench in Tuesday's loss. It's clear that he's ahead of Dalton Knecht, however, with the second-year wing failing to log a single minute. Even in the absence of LeBron James (sciatica), LaRavia's fantasy appeal will likely be limited to deeper formats.

LaRavia (rest) is set to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Kings, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

While he didn't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Mavericks, LaRavia is primed for action Friday. The forward is looking to make one final case for a significant rotation spot for Opening Night.

LaRavia (rest) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

LaRavia started Tuesday's game and logged 34 minutes, contributing eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block before getting the night off for the second leg of the back-to-back Wednesday. He'll have one final chance to appear in preseason action Friday against the Kings.

LaRavia will be in the starting lineup in Tuesday's preseason game against the Suns, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

LaRavia gets the nod for the first five. He joins Marcus Smart (Achilles), Deandre Ayton, Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic.

LaRavia closed with 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, four steals and three rebounds in 27 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Warriors.

It was an impressive outing for LaRavia, delivering meaningful contributions on both ends of the floor. With LeBron James set to miss time with a nerve injury, it could very well be LaRavia who benefits. While he will still likely come off the bench, there will be minutes available, especially given the fact that certain members of the starting five are average, at best, when it comes to defensive contributions.

LaRavia will come off the bench during Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

LaRavia started the team's previous two preseason games but will shift to the bench with Dalton Knecht entering the starting five. LaRavia has averaged 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest in the preseason.

LaRavia will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

LaRavia will get the nod in the first five to make his preseason debut with his new squad. The Lakers newcomer is filling in for LeBron James (glute), who won't play Friday and might not play much, if at all, during the preseason.

LaRavia has been playing alongside the team's projected starters during training camp, NBA reporter Jovan Buha reports.

With LeBron James (glute) on the mend, LaRavia has seemingly taken his place, playing with the starters during scrimmages in practice. This could indicate he'll be a starter to get the preseason underway on Friday against the Suns. Unless James' injury lingers into the regular season, LaRavia will likely come off the bench to start the 2025-26 campaign.

LaRavia (thumb) agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

LaRavia has made only six starts in his three-year career in The Association, but he can be a solid contributor off the bench in the right role. He averaged 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks across 66 regular-season appearances in 2024-25 while playing for the Grizzlies and Kings. LaRavia missed the final 10 games of the 2024-25 regular season due to a thumb fracture, though there's no timeline regarding whether he'll be ready for training camp in the fall.

LaRavia (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

LaRavia will end up missing the final 10 games of the regular season due to a left thumb fracture. It's unclear whether he has progressed enough in his recovery to be available for the Kings' Play-In Tournament game against the Mavericks on Wednesday.

LaRavia (thumb) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers.

LaRavia will miss his ninth straight outing due to an incomplete scaphoid fracture in his left thumb. The 23-year-old forward's last opportunity to feature during the regular season will come Sunday against the Suns.

LaRavia (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver.

LaRavia is slated to miss his eighth consecutive contest due to an incomplete scaphoid fracture in his left thumb. However, the 23-year-old is progressing through return-to-play protocol, and his next chance to feature will come Friday against the Clippers.

LaRavia is progressing through return-to-play protocol after being diagnosed with a fractured left thumb Monday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

LaRavia has not played since March 25 due to what was originally diagnosed as a left thumb contusion, but further tests have revealed that the 2022 first-round pick is working through an incomplete scaphoid fracture in that left thumb. LaRavia has already been ruled out for Monday's game against Detroit, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return for the final games of the regular season or in the Play-In tournament if the Kings qualify.

LaRavia (thumb) will not play Monday against the Pistons.

LaRavia will be sidelined for a sixth straight contest and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against Denver.

LaRavia (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

LaRavia will miss a sixth straight game for the Kings due to a bruised left thumb. The next chance for the 22-year-old forward to return to the floor for Sacramento will be Monday against the Pistons.

LaRavia was diagnosed with a bone contusion in his left thumb and will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

With this news, LaRavia is likely to miss the next four games for the Kings. A potential return April 6 against the Cavaliers could be on the table, however. With LaRavia sidelined, players such as Trey Lyles and Doug McDermott could step into larger roles for the Kings.

LaRavia (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

LaRavia is dealing with soreness in his left thumb, which will keep him sidelined for Thursday's game against Portland. Doug McDermott and Trey Lyles could get a boost in minutes off the bench for the Kings due to LaRavia's absence.

LaRavia (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers,Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

After an 11-point performance in Tuesday's loss to the Thunder, LaRavia could miss Thursday's matchup against Portland. The 22-year-old forward is averaging 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, shooting a career-high 47.5 percent from the floor and 42.3 percent from beyond the arc.

LaRavia notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 121-105 loss to Oklahoma City.

LaRavia's fantasy appeal has mostly been limited to deeper formats in recent weeks. Over his last 12 outings, LaRavia has produced averages of 8.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.5 three-pointers on 47.1 percent shooting from the field and 42.1 percent from beyond the arc.

LaRavia had 10 points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 22 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 loss to the Bulls.

LaRavia offered a spark from the second unit after missing Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers due to an illness. The 23-year-old forward has been efficient over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 61.5/50.0/85.7 shooting splits. LaRavia scored double-digit points in three of those five appearances, and in that five-game span, he has averaged 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 22.6 minutes per contest.

LaRavia (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls.

LaRavia missed Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers due to an illness, but the former Wake Forest standout is back in the active roster and should see minutes off the bench. LaRavia is averaging 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game off the bench since the beginning of March.

LaRavia (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Bulls.

LaRavia is in danger of missing his second straight contest Thursday due to an illness. If LaRavia is downgraded to out yet again, Trey Lyles should continue to receive increased playing time.

LaRavia (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

LaRavia was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, and he'll look to recover in time for the second leg of the Kings' back-to-back set Thursday against the Bulls. Trey Lyles and Keon Ellis stand to see an increase in playing time Wednesday due to LaRavia's absence.

LaRavia has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness.

LaRavia is a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up Wednesday. If the 2022 first-rounder is ultimately ruled out, Keon Ellis and Trey Lyles should pick up the slack off the bench against Cleveland.

LaRavia (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Warriors, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

LaRavia has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Memphis' previous contest due to right knee soreness. LaRavia is averaging 4.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 19.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

LaRavia (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors

LaRavia missed Monday's loss to the Knicks and may have to miss Thursday's matchup in San Francisco. Fortunately for Sacramento, Malik Monk has been cleared to play in this game, giving the team a significant boost, even if the 22-year-old is ruled out.

LaRavia (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Knicks, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

LaRavia logged 31 minutes Sunday against the Clippers, finishing with seven points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals, but he will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back set. His next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Thursday.

LaRavia is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks with right knee soreness.

LaRavia logged 31 minutes Sunday against the Clippers, finishing with seven points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals. For that reason, he could be held out for maintenance Monday. The good news for Sacramento is that Malik Monk (toe) has been cleared to return.

LaRavia provided 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Although LaRavia was held scoreless in the second half, he came out hot off the bench and scored 11 points in quick succession. Domantas Sabonis' (hamstring) extended absence should end up working in LaRavia's favor as the Kings try to make up for the lost production. Malik Monk's (toe) absence also helped out LaRavia's bottom line during the loss.

LaRavia provided eight points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Monday's 122-98 victory over the Mavericks.

With Domantas Sabonis set to miss some time with a hamstring issue, LaRavia is one of a number of players who could see a small uptick in playing time. Monday's game was a step in the right direction for LaRavia, as he was held to five points or fewer in his previous seven outings -- that included four scoreless duds.

LaRavia registered three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 10 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime loss to New Orleans.

LaRavia has come off the bench in all four of his appearances for Sacramento since being traded from Memphis. Over that span, LaRavia is averaging 3.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.5 minutes.

LaRavia was recently acquired by the Kings in a trade and has been cleared to play Saturday against the Pelicans.

LaRavia will be available to play Saturday against the Pelicans. In 47 games played for the Grizzlies, the 23-year-old forward averaged 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting a career-high 49 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc. He should add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt for Sacramento.

LaRavia was dealt Thursday from the Grizzlies to the Kings in the deal that also sent Marcus Smart to the Wizards, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

The Grizzlies declined LaRavia's team option before the season -- possibly a decision they'd want to take back. In 47 appearances this season, the forward is averaging 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 20.9 minutes. The 2022 first-rounder should slot in as a backup behind both DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray. His role with Sacramento could be similar to that in Memphis, especially with the Kings' depth somewhat thin.

LaRavia racked up six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 128-109 win over San Antonio.

LaRavia recorded a career-high four steals in the win. Although he's been playing a sizable role with the second unit, that could come to an end shortly -- Marcus Smart (finger) and Vince Williams (ankle) are nearing returns from their respective injuries, and GG Jackson appears to be turning a corner with his play.

LaRavia (back) tallied two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and two steals across 13 minutes Monday in the Grizzlies' 143-106 loss to the Knicks.

LaRavia made his return to action after missing the Grizzlies' previous three games with a lumbar stress reaction. The third-year forward has averaged 21.6 minutes per game over 43 appearances on the season, but his playing time could remain more sparse moving forward while the Grizzlies have nearly their entire rotation at full health, with the exceptions of Marcus Smart (finger) and Vince Williams (ankle). Though LaRavia was able to pick up some playing time while Monday's contest was competitive, four of his minutes came late in the fourth quarter, when he checked back into the game when the Grizzlies were trailing by 34 points and had essentially conceded defeat.

LaRavia (back) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks.

LaRavia will return from a three-game absence due to a lumbar stress reaction Monday. The forward has received inconsistent playing time this season, and over his last five appearances, he has averaged 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest.

LaRavia (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.

LaRavia has been sidelined for Memphis' last three games due to low back soreness, but he has a chance to make his return Monday. In the nine games prior to his injury, the third-year forward averaged 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.8 steals over 20.8 minutes per game.

LaRavia (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

LaRavia will be sidelined for a third straight game due to lower back soreness, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Knicks on Monday. GG Jackson and John Konchar should continue to see increased playing time off the bench due to LaRavia's absence.

LaRavia (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans.

LaRavia is expected to miss his third straight contest Saturday due to lower back soreness. With Santi Aldama (illness) already ruled out, GG Jackson and John Konchar should receive increased playing time.

LaRavia (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against New Orleans.

LaRavia will miss his second consecutive contest due to low back soreness, and his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Jazz. With Santi Aldama (illness) at risk of joining LaRavia on the sideline, Brandon Clarke, Luke Kennard and John Konchar could all see a slight uptick in playing time off the bench.

LaRavia (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

LaRavia was initially deemed doubtful to play Wednesday, so his absence isn't surprising. His next chance to feature will come against the Pelicans on Friday.

LaRavia (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

LaRavia is unlikely to play through lower-back soreness Wednesday, and his next chance to suit up for the Grizzlies would be Friday against the Pelicans. If the former first-rounder is ultimately ruled out as expected, Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama stand out as candidates for increased run off Memphis' bench against Charlotte.

LaRavia posted 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to the Rockets.

LaRavia provided a boost of Memphis' bench with an efficient 12 points and seven boards, also picking up two steals Monday. The 23-year-old forward is now averaging 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 threes in 21.4 minutes through his last six outings. With the Grizzlies' frontcourt healthy at the moment, LaRavia should remain stuck in a clear reserve role going forward, thus reducing his fantasy upside.

LaRavia totaled 17 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and a career-high 10 assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 loss to the Warriors.

LaRavia handed out a career-high 10 assists Saturday, stepping up as a distributor off the bench in a big way amid the ongoing absence of star playmaker Ja Morant (shoulder). Still, LaRavia remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option for the most part, as he's averaging just 9.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 threes in 19.7 minutes over his last eight games. The former first-rounder is shooting a sizzling 66.7 percent from deep during this stretch, though. If Luke Kennard (hamstring) remains out for Monday's game against the Mavericks, LaRavia should play a defined role from Memphis' second unit once again.

LaRavia (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Kings.

LaRavia missed the win over the Suns on Tuesday, but the former Wake Forest standout will return from a one-game absence. Expect him to see his regular workload off the bench.

LaRavia (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

LaRavia missed a game for the first time this season in the win over the Suns on Tuesday, and the former Wake Forest star could be in danger of missing a second straight contest. His absence isn't likely to generate a lot of noise in fantasy, though. The three-year forward is averaging 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

LaRavia (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

LaRavia suffered a right ankle sprain during Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City, and it'll force him to miss at least one additional game. Look for Luke Kennard and John Konchar to see more opportunities while the team contends with the injury bug.

LaRavia did not return to Sunday's 130-106 loss to the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain. He finished with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists over 14 minutes.

LaRavia checked out early in the fourth quarter and was initially listed as doubtful to return. Part of that may have had to do with the Grizzlies' large deficit, but the severity of the sprain should be determined over the next day or two. LaRavia is in danger of missing Tuesday's game against the Suns, and if he were to be sidelined that would open the door for more playing time for Cam Spencer, Luke Kennard and Colin Castleton.

LaRavia is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain.

LaRavia was replaced by Colin Castleton early in the fourth quarter, and the former's night appears to be done as the Grizzlies are losing in a blowout. Assuming he doesn't return, LaRavia will finish with zero points, two rebounds and two assists across 14 minutes. It's unclear whether his right ankle sprain is severe enough for him to be in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's game against the Suns.

LaRavia provided 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 24 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 144-93 win over Golden State.

The third-year forward tied his season scoring high as one of six different Grizzlies to score at least 13 points in the rout, and his four made three were a new season high for him. LaRavia had gone four straight games without scoring in double digits coming into Thursday however, and over the prior eight contest he'd shot just 28.6 percent (4-for-14) from long range. LaRavia is capable of heating up, but his current role on the second unit won't give him many opportunities to build some momentum.

LaRavia had 11 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 victory over the Pacers.

LaRavia was coming off a dud against the Pelicans on Friday, but bounced back nicely Sunday in what was his eighth game of the campaign with double-digit points. The Grizzlies are using a deep rotation right now, and LaRavia's sporadic production has made him hard to trust outside of deeper fantasy leagues.

LaRavia racked up eight points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.

LaRavia matched his season-high with three blocks, falling just short of his second double-double of the season. Once again, the Grizzlies have been dealt a rough go of things when it comes to injuries, allowing LaRavia to play a larger role than expected. Having just returned from injury, Vince Williams left this game with an ankle concern, potentially opening up some more playing time for LaRavia moving forward.

LaRavia produced 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 win over the Lakers.

LaRavia was more active than usual in Wednesday's win, setting his career high in assists and matching his season high in shot attempts. Memphis is dealing with injuries, so this type of production from LaRavia will only last so long. Still, fantasy managers should take note. In his 26.4 minutes per game, the third-year forward is averaging a balanced 8.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists.

LaRavia notched six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 106-104 loss to the Nets.

LaRavia matched his career-best mark of six assists in the loss. With the Grizzlies dealing with a handful of injuries, LaRavia has been getting a ton of run. Through eight games, the forward has played 26.3 minutes per night with 7.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.8 three-pointers.

LaRavia won't start Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

LaRavia was initially listed with the starters but will actually remain in his bench role. After a slow start, LaRavia has picked things up over the last three games, averaging 10.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 30.0 minutes per game.

LaRavia is in the Grizzlies' starting five for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

LaRavia will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday as Santi Aldama retreats to the bench. LaRavia is coming off his first double-double of the season against the Bucks on Thursday, and he finished that game with 11 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes.

LaRavia chipped in 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 122-99 victory over Milwaukee.

LaRavia saw extended minutes during garbage time Thursday, and he took advantage of the extra playing time by logging his first double-double of the regular season. LaRavia is playing in the final year of his rookie contract after the Grizzlies declined to pick up his 2025-26 team option.

The Grizzlies are interested in retaining LaRavia beyond this season, but the team won't pick up his option for the 2025-26 campaign, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Hill notes that the club is pleased with LaRavia's development, however, Memphis also has 12 players under contract for the 2025-26 campaign and would like to hold onto as much roster flexibility as possible. This could very well be a make or break year for the former first-round pick out of Wake Forest, who averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 35 games (six starts) a season ago.

LaRavia finished with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to Chicago.

LaRavia surpassed the 25-minute mark off the bench for the first time this season, and the former Wake Forest standout made the most of the opportunity. This was the first time he scored in double digits in 2024-25, and although LaRavia has proven he can be a productive player when given enough minutes, he's not expected to see a significant role with the Grizzlies as long as the core players in the roster remain healthy.

LaRavia racked up three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 victory over Orlando.

The 22-year-old tallied 20-plus minutes for the second consecutive matchup due to Zach Edey landing in foul trouble and playing only 13 minutes in the starting five. LaRavia will likely remain a significant part of Memphis' second unit until Vince Williams (lower leg) returns, and he could serve as a streaming option in fantasy formats if injury concerns arise in the frontcourt.

LaRavia is not in the starting lineup in Friday's preseason game against the Heat.

LaRavia won't start in the preseason finale, as the Grizzlies will operate with a lineup that should be closer to what they might trout in Opening Night against the Jazz next Wednesday. LaRavia should carve a steady role off the bench once the regular season begins, though.

LaRavia won't start Monday's preseason game against the Pacers, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

LaRavia took Santi Aldama's spot in the starting lineup Saturday in Chicago, but the two will switch places again Monday. With Jaren Jackson dealing with a hamstring injury, LaRavia could see steady reserve minutes to open the regular season.

LaRavia posted 20 points (5-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, an assist, two steals and a block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 124-121 preseason win over the Bulls.

Similar to Jayden Wells, LaRavia took advantage of this spot start to strengthen his case for a rotation spot once the 2024-25 regular season kicks in. Injuries allowed LaRavia to carve a decent role off the bench in the previous campaign, where he averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 23.0 minutes per game in 35 regular-season appearances. He'll aim to maintain that role in a healthier Grizzlies roster in 2024-25.

LaRavia will join the starting five in Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls.

LaRavia will enter the starting five with Santi Aldama and Desmond Bane both expected to take a scheduled day off due to rest. LaRavia carved out a significant role in the rotation last season due to a litany of injuries, during which he averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 23.0 minutes per game in 35 regular-season appearances.

LaRavia (ankle) will play in Monday's Summer League Championship Game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

LaRavia was held out of Sunday's semifinal due to an ankle sprain, but he's since been given the green light to suit up for Monday's clash. He'll aim to bounce back following a quiet showing Thursday against the Pelicans, finishing with two points and one assist in eight minutes before exiting with the injury.

LaRavia (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League semifinal matchup against the Clippers, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

LaRavia is dealing with a minor ankle sprain but will likely miss the remainder of Summer League, along with rookies Zach Edey and Cam Spencer. LaRavia, a 2022 first-round pick, has appeared in 70 regular-season games (six starts) over the last two seasons but needs to prove himself worthy of a roster spot during training camp.

LaRavia will not return to Thursday's Summer League game due to ankle soreness, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

It's not all that common for a third-year player to suit up for Summer League in Las Vegas, so it's not surprising to see LaRavia hit the sidelines with a minor injury. He's fine, but don't be surprised if he sits Memphis' next exhibition as well.

LaRavia has been ruled out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Thunder due to minor ankle soreness, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

LaRavia is entering his third NBA season, so it's a bit surprising that he played in any Summer League games. His ankle is fine, but he'll likely be deployed sparsely during these summer exhibition games.

LaRavia registered 28 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.

LaRavia played 43 minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies, marking the highest total of his career. He's played at least 40 minutes in back-to-back contests and has averaged 30.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals over that span. LaRavia's opportunities have come as the team has been decimated by injuries, but he's performing at a level that could help him solidify a significant role in Memphis' rotation next season.

LaRavia notched 32 points (10-18 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Cavaliers.

LaRavia missed the Grizzlies' last two games due to left ankle soreness, but he returned Wednesday in style. With Memphis fielding just eight players, LaRavia got his fourth start of the season and finished with 32 points over 40 minutes. He was also responsible for eight of the team's 14 three-point makes. With so many Memphis players dealing with injuries, LaRavia figures to see extended playing time for the last two games of the regular season.

LaRavia is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers.

LaRavia will replace Jordan Goodwin (G League) in the starting lineup Wednesday. LaRavia is averaging 11.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.7 minutes across his three starts this season.

LaRavia (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cavs.

LaRavia is back after a two-game stint on the sidelines, and he should get all the run he can handle as Memphis goes into Wednesday's game with just eight, active players. He's a reasonable target in daily fantasy leagues.

LaRavia (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

LaRavia has missed the past two games for Memphis, but he remains day-to-day. The Grizzlies dressed just eight players Tuesday against the Spurs, and it appears that they will be very shorthanded once again.

LaRavia (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Spurs, as expected.

LaRavia was carrying a doubtful tag before the Grizzlies ultimately decided to hold him out alongside Lamar Stevens (groin). The Grizzlies are likely to be very shorthanded for the remainder of the regular season and could spread the minutes around to evaluate some new additions to the roster.

LaRavia (ankle) is doubtful to play Tuesday versus San Antonio.

LaRavia appears on track to be sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain. With Memphis set to be missing 6 to 7 members of the recent rotation, LaRavia's injury is unfortunate timing for the second-year wing's ability to continue getting reps.

LaRavia (ankle) will not play against the 76ers on Saturday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

This was the expectation with LaRavia carrying a doubtful tag prior to this update. The Grizzlies just signed Timmy Allen to a 10-day contract and could give him an extended look Saturday.

LaRavia is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to left ankle soreness.

LaRavia is expected to miss his first game since Feb. 15 on Saturday due to an ankle injury. With Santi Aldama (foot) out, Brandon Clarke (rest) could enter the starting lineup.

LaRavia will come off the bench with Santi Aldama entering the starting lineup Monday against the Pistons.

LaRavia is averaging 13.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists while knocking down 38.7 percent of 6.2 threes across his last five contests off the bench. GG Jackson, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson will comprise Memphis' starting frontcourt Monday.

LaRavia is in the starting lineup to face the Magic on Saturday.

LaRavia will enter the starting lineup in place of Santi Aldama, who will be unavailable due to an illness. LaRavia has made just one previous start this season, when he posted 13 points, four assists and two steals in a 124-93 loss to the Thunder on March 10.

LaRavia accumulated 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers.

His efforts weren't enough to bring Memphis back against a suddenly hot Lakers squad, but LaRavia at least helped keep the Grizzlies from being completely blown out with 14 of his 25 points in the fourth period. Overall, the second-year forward scored all but four of his points from beyond the arc, and his seven three-pointers more than doubled his previous career-best mark of three. LaRavia is usually good for a triple or two per contest, so there's little reason to expect this type of output from deep on a consistent basis, though he has held some low-end fantasy value of late with averages of 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals through 14 games in March.

LaRavia (illness) has been cleared to play Monday night against the Nuggets.

LaRavia was tagged as a game-time call due to illness, but he feels healthy enough to give it a go Monday night. He's averaging 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five contests.

LaRavia is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness.

LaRavia continues to deal with an illness that caused him to be a late addition to the injury report ahead of Friday's game. He was able to play 28 minutes Friday, however, which bodes well for his chances Monday. The Grizzlies already find themselves extremely shorthanded, so LaRavia's absence would be significant for the rotation.

LaRavia (illness) is good to go for Friday's game in San Antonio, Konchar (heel) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

LaRavia was a late addition to the Grizzlies' injury report, but it looks like the team was just exercising caution at the time. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at forward assuming he avoids any setbacks. The 22-year-old has averaged 11.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 triples across 30.0 minutes over his previous five games.

LaRavia is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.

LaRavia wasn't on the Grizzlies' initial injury report, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up due to his illness. If he's sidelined, his absence would leave the Grizzlies incredibly shorthanded, as the team already had a lengthy injury report before LaRavia was added.

LaRavia will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards.

Memphis' lineups continue to be all over the place, but LaRavia is likely to maintain a decent role with the amount of injuries on the roster. In his last outing Sunday versus the Thunder, LaRavia had 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

LaRavia closed Sunday's 124-93 loss to the Thunder with 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

After a very shaky start to the season, LaRavia seems to have finally found some confidence. Over his last four games, the forward has compiled averages of 15.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers.

LaRavia will start Sunday's game at Oklahoma City.

The Grizzlies' injury report is nearing record levels Sunday, so they'll roll out a starting five of GG Jackson, Luke Kennard, Jake LaRavia, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson. It will be the first career NBA start for LaRavia, who the Grizzlies selected in the first round in 2022. Over his last eight games, the Wake Forest product is averaging 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 made threes in 23.9 minutes.

LaRavia notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and three blocks in 32 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 115-109 win over Philadelphia.

The second-year forward delivered his second straight double-double, which are the only two of LaRevia's career. He's taken on a large role in the Grizzlies' rotation since the All-Star break, averaging 23.6 minutes over the last seven games, and he's turned that court time into 11.1 points, 5.9 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals a contest. The holes in LaRevia's game are apparent -- he's shooting 36.9 percent from the floor during that time, and 25.9 percent (7-for-27) from beyond the arc -- but Memphis' injury woes this season have left them with little choice but to try and accelerate the development of the 2022 first-round pick.

LaRavia contributed 14 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 106-102 win over the Nets.

LaRavia missed 17 consecutive games between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15 due to a nagging ankle injury, but he's been playing regularly off the bench since the end of the All-Star break and has surpassed the 20-minute mark in three of those six outings. LaRavia has also scored in double digits three times in that span, and even though his bench role limits his upside considerably, he could be used as a streaming alternative in deep formats. After all, he's producing 9.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 22.2 minutes per game in that six-game span.

LaRavia amassed 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 122-92 loss to Portland.

The 19th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft has a golden opportunity in front of him due to all the injuries in Memphis, and at least for one night LaRavia took advantage, delivering a career-high scoring effort. In four games since returning from an ankle injury of his own however, the 22-year-old forward is averaging just 9.8 points, 4.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals.

LaRavia ended Monday's 111-86 loss to Brooklyn with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes.

LaRavia was one of just three Grizzlies to post double-digit scoring in a dismal affair collectively. The third-year wing has yet to carve out a niche, but he should have ample opportunity with Memphis fully prioritizing development and experimentation down the stretch.

LaRavia (ankle) recorded three points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes Friday in the Grizzlies' 101-95 loss to the Clippers.

Making his first appearance for Memphis in more than five weeks after missing time with a left ankle sprain, LaRavia took hold of a rotation spot for the injury riddled Grizzlies. He provided a useful output in the steals column, but the poor shooting took a better fantasy line off the table for LaRavia. The 2022 first-round pick might be able to hold down a spot on the second unit for the foreseeable future, but he'll need to get more minutes before he warrants much attention outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues.

LaRavia (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Clippers, Parker Fleming of parkerflemingblog.com reports.

LaRavia has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Memphis' last 17 games due to a left ankle sprain. However, it wouldn't be surprising for the 22-year-old guard to operate under a minutes restriction.

LaRavia is questionable to play Friday against the Clippers due to a left ankle sprain.

The Grizzlies are not taking any risks with any of their players, and they're going to evaluate LaRavia on Friday, though recent reports indicate he's trending in the right direction. For what is worth, LaRavia was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is expected to play Friday against the Clippers.

LaRavia (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and he's expected to play Friday against the Clippers, Jonah Dylan of Memphis News reports.

LaRavia has been out since January 13, so he'll likely have a strict minutes cap in his first game back, but he'll certainly see a ton of opportunity once he's fully up to speed. He's someone to put on your watchlist in deep leagues.

LaRavia (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Bucks.

LaRavia will miss his 17th straight game Thursday due to a left ankle sprain. While there is no timetable for LaRavia's return, his next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break on Feb. 23 against the Clippers.

LaRavia (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

LaRavia's absence streak will extend to 16 games Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up before the All-Star Break is against Milwaukee on Thursday.

LaRavia (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

LaRavia hasn't played since Jan. 13 due to a Grade 2 high left ankle sprain. A day after he suffered the injury, the Grizzlies announced that he would be re-evaluated in three weeks, but that period has come and passed without the team providing an official update on his status. Until the Grizzlies indicate that LaRavia is taking part in practice, he can probably be viewed as week-to-week rather than day-to-day.

The Grizzlies announced Sunday that LaRavia has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 high left ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

LaRavia suffered his injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Knicks and will be forced to miss multiple weeks following his diagnosis. He hasn't had a consistent spot in the Grizzlies' rotation this year, but the team is dealing with multiple injuries early in the calendar year.

LaRavia (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

LaRavia left Saturday's contest against the Knicks early due to a left ankle sprain that will hold him out of Monday's game. The 22-year-old pro hasn't seen much run for the Grizzlies this season, so his absence doesn't figure to impact the rotation much.

LaRavia will not return to Saturday's game against the Knicks due to a left ankle sprain, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. He finished with two points (2-2F FT) in one minute.

LaRavia has rarely seen the floor for the Grizzlies this season, but he was getting a rare opportunity Saturday with so many injuries in Memphis. GG Jackson is the next man up for the Grizzlies and is off to a strong start in Saturday's game.

The Grizzlies recalled LaRavia from the Memphis Hustle of the G League on Friday.

LaRavia will be available for Friday's game versus the Clippers. The 22-year-old forward is averaging 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds in 11.2 minutes across his nine NBA appearances this season.

The Grizzlies recalled LaRavia from the G League's Memphis Hustle on Monday.

LaRavia hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Dec. 18, and he's made just eight total appearances for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 3.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game. The Grizzlies are going to be a bit shorthanded against Dallas on Tuesday, but it'd be surprising if LaRavia saw any playing time, barring a blowout.

The Grizzlies recalled LaRavia from the Memphis Hustle of the G League on Friday.

LaRavia will be available for Saturday's game versus the Hawks. The second-year forward is averaging 3.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 12.4 minutes across his eight NBA appearances this season.

LaRavia (eye) has been cleared to play Monday against the Mavericks.

LaRavia has missed his team's last 16 games while on the mend from a corneal abrasion, but he's been given the green light Monday. He's averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.2 minutes per game over five contests this season.

LaRavia (eye) is questionable for Monday's game against Dallas.

LaRavia has been shut down since Nov. 1 due to a corneal abrasion in his left eye. A questionable tag should provide some optimism for LaRavia to return soon, as it is the first time he has not been listed as doubtful or out since his injury. Although LaRavia likely won't have a huge role when he returns, the team is very shorthanded with Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart dealing with injuries, so he could see some extra minutes if he can go on Monday.

LaRavia (eye) will not play in Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

LaRavia has been sidelined since Nov. 1, though he is believed to be getting closer to a return. He was struggling prior to the injury, as he was shooting 35.0 percent from the field through five appearances.

LaRavia (eye) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

LaRavia is in the midst of a multi-week absence due to a corneal abrasion in his left eye. While he'll likely remain out Friday, it's encouraging that he's deemed doubtful on the initial injury report rather than immediately being ruled out. Although the Grizzlies remain shorthanded, it seems unlikely that LaRavia will have a significant role upon his return.

LaRavia will undergo a procedure to address a corneal abrasion in his left eye and will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks.

This is a tough blow for LaRavia, as the Grizzlies were giving him some G League reps in recent days to boost his confidence after a slow start to the campaign. His absence won't have many fantasy implications for the Grizzlies.

LaRavia (eye) was assigned to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Monday.

LaRavia has missed the last two games due to a left eye abrasion, but it's relatively encouraging that he'll get some work in with the G League club. He's slated to be recalled by the parent club Tuesday.

LaRavia (eye) is out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

LaRavia will miss an eighth straight game due to a left eye abrasion. His timetable for return remains unclear.

LaRavia (eye) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Celtics.

LaRavia will likely miss an eighth straight game due to a left eye abrasion. It's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again.

LaRavia (eye) will not play Saturday against the Spurs.

LaRavia will be inactive for his seventh consecutive game due to a combination of toe and eye injuries, although he has spent time with Memphis' G League affiliate in the interim. His next opportunity to take the court is Sunday against Boston.

LaRavia is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to a left eye abrasion.

LaRavia was recalled from the G League for Saturday's game but is dealing with an eye issue. If he's downgraded to out, his absence is unlikely to affect Memphis' rotation.

The Grizzlies assigned LaRavia (toe) to the Memphis Hustle of the G league on Friday.

LaRavia was originally deemed doubtful for Friday's contest against Utah but now won't be able to play while in the G League. LaRavia is averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds across his last five NBA appearances.

LaRavia is doubtful for Friday's game against the Jazz due to a left great toe contusion.

LaRavia hasn't played in the Grizzlies' past three games and was recently assigned to the G League. Even though he's been recalled, he probably won't take the floor.

The Grizzlies recalled LaRavia from the Memphis Hustle of the G League on Wednesday.

LaRavia will return to the NBA after a short stint in the G League. The second-year forward is averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.2 minutes across his five appearances for the Grizzlies this season.

LaRavia produced four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over eight minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 loss to Utah.

LaRavia saw double-digit minutes in the first three games of the season but has been limited to single-digit minutes in the last two matchups. He's averaging 3.4 points in 12.2 minutes per game this year and doesn't have much fantasy upside, even with the Grizzlies dealing with several early-season absences.

LaRavia's third-year team option was exercised Monday.

LaRavia didn't see the floor much as a rookie in 2022-23, averaging 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.8 minutes across 35 contests. However, the Grizzlies are very thin this season due to Ja Morant's suspension and injuries to Brandon Clarke (Achilles) and Steven Adams (knee), so there is plenty of opportunity for LaRavia this time around.

LaRavia delivered 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a block across 22 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 108-102 preseason win over the Bucks.

LaRavia didn't have his best shooting performance Tuesday and struggled from behind the arc, but he still posted a solid stat line while reaching the 15-point mark. LaRavia is in the mix for bench minutes once the regular season rolls around, and he could be a decent scoring threat in the second unit. He averaged just 3.0 points per game as a rookie, but he's bound to surpass that mark if given a bigger role in 2023-24.

LaRavia posted 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in 20 minutes of action Sunday, as Memphis beat Indiana 127-122.

LaRavia's 14 shot attempts trailed only Jaron Jackson for the team lead. Despite LaRavia's single assist, he spent numerous possessions as the Grizzlies' transition ball handler or offensive initiator. The 21-year-old has point forward upside, but he's yet to capitalize on the NBA stage. LaRavia shot 38.9 percent from the field along with a 1.17 AST/TO ratio in 35 games last season.

LaRavia recorded 22 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 83-74 Summer League loss to the Clippers.

LaRavia has been one of Memphis' leading scorers throughout the Summer League. While his efficiency has been inconsistent, his volume from the charity stripe allowed him to post at least 20 points for the second straight outing.

LaRavia collected 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3PT, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes of Wednesday's 94-86 Summer League win over the Thunder.

After going 2-11 from the field in the Grizzlies' Summer League opener, LaRavia came out of the gates on fire, pouring in 16 points in the first quarter. He finished with a team-high 25 points, while also grabbing a pair of steals on the defensive end. After splitting time between the NBA and the G League last season, LaRavia will look to carve out a rotation spot with the Grizzlies in 2023-24.

LaRavia dealt with a calf injury at the end of the 2022-23 campaign, but he appears to have moved past the issue and should be full go this offseason. The 21-year-old struggled with his shot Monday, but he figures to be a focal point for Memphis' Summer League squad over the next two weeks.

LaRavia will likely see action in the G League contest Friday morning, but he's unlikely to see the 21 minutes of action he saw against the Clippers on Wednesday in the rematch Friday evening.

LaRavia (back) will not play Sunday against the Clippers.

The rookie is dealing with a sore back and will not be available as the Grizzlies play their first of two games in Los Angeles over the next three nights. LaRavia hasn't been a part of the nightly rotation since late November, though the Grizzlies are without a pair of starters Sunday in Dillon Brooks (suspension) and Ja Morant (suspension), so LaRavia may be missing out on a rare opportunity to play a larger role.

LaRavia is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

LaRavia and Vince Williams (shoulder) have both been downgraded to doubtful after initially being left off the injury report. LaRavia hasn't played more than 10 minutes in an NBA contest since Jan. 27, so his expected absence shouldn't have an impact on Memphis' rotation.

LaRavia (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

LaRavia will join the Grizzlies on Saturday after a brief stint in the G League.

Across the first 20 games of the NBA season, LaRavia posted 5.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.4 minutes across 16 appearances.

LaRavia (ankle) played four minutes and contributed an offensive rebound and no other statistics in Monday's 128-103 win over the Hawks.

Head coach Taylor Jenkins didn't include LaRavia in the rotation in the rookie's return from a six-game absence, as the rookie didn't see the court until the Grizzlies held a 30-point lead with 4:07 remaining in the fourth quarter. While LaRavia was sidelined, Ziaire Williams returned from an extended absence of his own, and Williams appears to have supplanted LaRavia for a rotation spot for the time being.

LaRavia (ankle) is available for Monday's contest against the Hawks.

After missing Memphis' last six contests, LaRavia is officially available to make his return to the court Monday. Throughout his first 16 appearances of his career, LaRavia is averaging 5.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 18.4 minutes per game.

LaRavia (foot) is likely to play in Monday's contest against the Hawks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

LaRavia (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta.

However, the Grizzlies may be in need of an extra body considering Ja Morant (ankle) and John Konchar (toe) are doubtful and Jaren Jackson (injury management) is out. If LaRavia doesn't give it a go Monday, David Roddy and Santi Aldama will be in store for larger workloads.

LaRavia (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

LaRavia (foot) is doubtful for Friday's matchup against the 76ers.

LaRavia has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Wednesday's game. LaRavia's next opportunity to play will be in Friday's game against Philadelphia.

LaRavia is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to left foot soreness.

LaRavia has played a sizable role off the bench for Memphis through the first quarter of the campaign, logging 18.4 minutes per contest in his 16 appearances. Unfortunately, he may be forced to take at least a night off Wednesday. If he can't go, David Roddy, Xavier Tillman and Santi Aldama are among the candidates to see additional minutes.

LaRavia supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.

LaRavia slid into a larger role in the loss, closing in on 30 minutes for just the second time this season. While he has flashed a small amount of upside across the first 13 games of his career, his role is simply too inconsistent to warrant attention outside of deeper formats.

LaRavia (hip) will play Monday against the Celtics.

LaRavia was previously listed as questionable due to right hip soreness, but he received clearance to play after successfully going through pregame warmups. He's averaging 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds off the bench in his last five matchups.

The rookie forward is set to miss his second straight contest due to an illness. LaRavia's next chance to return to the court comes Wednesday in Portland.

LaRavia (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Utah.

LaRavia and Ja Morant missed Saturday's game against Utah while battling an illness, and both players are now considered questionable for Monday night. The rookie out of Wake Forest has been a regular in the rotation thus far, though it's possible Ziaire Williams (knee) will eventually cut into LaRavia's workload once he's back from injury.

LaRavia (illness) is out Saturday against the Jazz.

LaRavia and Ja Morant are both out due to illnesses. Tyus Jones will start in Morant's stead, and with LaRavia out, more minutes could go to Brandon Clarke, David Roddy and John Konchar.

LaRavia (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's meeting with the Jazz.

LaRavia is a late addition to the injury report for the Grizzlies due to a non-COVID illness, joining Ja Morant who is also dealing with a non-COVID illness as doubtful. LaRavia recorded a career-high 30 minutes in his most recent game, largely due to John Konchar's (shoulder) absence, and played well enough to possibly earn more playing time going forward even when the Grizzlies are healthy.

LaRavia closed Thursday's 125-110 victory over the Kings with 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes.

LaRavia stepped into a larger role in the win, thanks largely to the absence of John Konchar. He has looked relatively impressive in limited minutes thus far this season and could be a name to watch. He would likely need a couple of players to go down before becoming a fantasy consideration, so in the meantime, simply monitor his playing time moving forward.

LaRavia had zero points (0-2 FG) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Monday's 134-124 victory over Brooklyn.

LaRavia entered Monday's contest averaging 7.7 points in 16.7 minutes per contest, but the return of Dillon Brooks (thigh) dented his role substantially. The 6-foot-8 LaRavia was solid to begin his career, knocking down 6-of-11 threes. The rookie will likely return to an end-of-bench role.

LaRavia is expected to compete for a starting role ahead of the 2022-23 season, Joe Mullinax of Locked On Grizzlies reports.

LaRavia was a first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft after performing well at Wake Forest last year, and a starting role should be available in the Grizzlies' frontcourt since Jaren Jackson (foot) is expected to miss several months following a procedure that he underwent in late June. LaRavia is best known for his offensive impact, as he shot 36.4 percent from beyond the arc over his three collegiate seasons and averaged 14.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 34.1 games with the Demon Deacons last year. The 20-year-old had a lackluster performance in the Summer League last month but should be firmly in the competition for a starting role early in the year.
