Overview
- The Lakers opened the season with a 127-105 win over the Warriors on Oct. 21, a game that featured Walker Kessler's flawless shooting and a late ankle injury to Jake LaRavia.
- LaRavia rolled his right ankle late in the opener and is now listed as questionable as medical staff complete further evaluations.
- Collin Sexton was removed from the Lakers' injury report and is expected to make his Los Angeles debut against the Clippers after a right soleus calf issue kept him out of the preseason.
- Rookie Cameron Carr (right oblique strain) and second-year forward Adou Thiero (left knee effusion) remain out as the team follows a conservative ramp-up plan that includes short shutdowns and day-to-day monitoring.
- With Sexton likely available, coach JJ Redick can reshuffle minutes to cover for a possible LaRavia absence, but the team will keep treating soft-tissue and knee issues cautiously to protect long-term availability.
