Overview
- Quentin Grimes injured his right finger during the Lakers’ game on Sunday, Nov. 8, and left in the fourth quarter before receiving on‑site medical attention.
- Arena X‑rays taken after the injury came back negative for a fracture but the team diagnosed a right finger sprain that prompted a cautious approach.
- Grimes was ruled out for Monday’s game at Atlanta but his status was upgraded to questionable on the Lakers’ injury report for the Nov. 11 matchup in Milwaukee.
- Austin Reaves was removed from the report and is expected to play while Walker Kessler is listed available despite wearing a left‑finger splint.
- Coach JJ Redick has emphasized caution with Grimes’ swelling and ligament risk, and the Lakers will decide rotation adjustments at game time as they protect a 10‑2 start.
