Jake LaRavia was ruled out with an ankle injury after testing it at shootaround and in the treatment room. "It's not there," Lakers coach JJ Redick said. LaRavia, who played all 82 games last season and set doing it again as a goal, hopes to return Oct. 25, if not Oct. 27.
Collin Sexton missed the preseason, and the Lakers are still working out how to put his group "in a spot to be successful," JJ Redick said Nov. 2. Redick credited Jake LaRavia's "intrinsic knowledge with what we're trying to do" for the starting lineup's strong numbers.
No update on Jake LaRavia's injury, Lakers coach JJ Redick said Oct. 21, though he sounded more hopeful than at first: "I'm probably more positive than when it first happened. But again, he'll be evaluated." He gave no timeline and did not commit on his status.
