Cameron Carr Cleared to Play vs Raptors

The rookie’s removal from the injury report gives the Lakers an extra perimeter scoring option following a 25-point collapse and limited wing availability.

Overview

Carr was taken off the NBA injury report and listed available for the Lakers’ Sunday home game against the Toronto Raptors.
He missed the first six games after a right oblique strain from training camp and was cleared after completing multiple full-contact sessions with the Lakers’ G League affiliate.
Coach JJ Redick said the team required Carr to be able to get through a full practice before returning to game action.
Los Angeles has not confirmed whether Carr will receive meaningful minutes, and the rookie’s opportunity could grow while Ziaire Williams is questionable and Adou Thiero remains out.
Carr was the Lakers’ No. 24 pick in the 2026 draft after a trade with the Knicks, and his Summer League and preseason scoring create a pathway for him to help a bench that showed scoring shortfalls in the loss to Golden State.
