Overview
- In a 130-120 win over the Heat, LaRavia delivered 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting with eight rebounds and four steals, punctuated by a late left-handed dunk.
- The showing came after a 27-point breakout against the Timberwolves that featured a fan’s “Who is No. 12?” shout and Anthony Edwards’ on-bench reaction captured on the broadcast.
- Postgame, LaRavia said he “played into” the viral moment and acknowledged he is not widely known yet, emphasizing a head-down, work-first approach.
- Redick praised LaRavia’s instincts on both ends, with team tracking crediting him for a Lakers-best 3.6 deflections per game and early averages of 10.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 47.6% from three through six games.
- A low-profile offseason pickup now on his third NBA team, LaRavia has contributed during Los Angeles’ 5-2 start that includes a three-game win streak.
