Overview
- LaRavia’s front tooth was jarred loose in a first‑quarter collision with Gabe Vincent, sending him briefly to the locker room before he returned.
- He finished that game with four points and two rebounds in 17 minutes.
- He later underwent a root canal, a development confirmed in reporting shared by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin after LaRavia’s postgame photo circulated on social media.
- LaRavia says he will wear a mouthguard and joked he is avoiding apples following the dental work.
- With Austin Reaves sidelined by a calf strain, the Lakers are counting on LaRavia’s defense and floor spacing as they face the Suns.
