Timme won't start Thursday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With LeBron James (foot) back in the lineup following a one-game absence, Timme will retreat to the second unit. The big man isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time Thursday, and he has averaged 1.8 points across 7.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Timme will start Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers will be without multiple key contributors Tuesday, opening the door for Timme to make his first start of the season. He's averaging 3.1 points in 8.1 minutes per contest across 23 regular-season games, though he'll likely see a significant bump in minutes against the Thunder.

Timme ended Friday's 128-117 win over Indiana with four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
With the Lakers' frontcourt severely depleted due to the absences of Deandre Ayton (knee) and Maxi Kleber (back), Timme was called up from the G League and thrust into a significant rotation role. Though he wasn't asked to carry the scoring load he usually manages for South Bay, the two-way big man provided 23 minutes of play, marking his second highest minute total at the NBA level this season. While he is likely to return to a high-usage role in the G League once the parent club's veterans get healthy, he proved on Friday that he can provide reliable depth when the Lakers are thinned out.

Timme logged 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and two rebounds over 20 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 136-108 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Returning from the three-game absence due to an eye injury, Timme got his biggest workload since Jan. 17 for a Lakers squad missing all five of its usual starters. The 25-year-old center will likely return to the end of the bench once Deandre Ayton (knee) is back on the court.

Timme is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Bulls due to a right eye injury, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Timme took an elbow to the face early in the second quarter and exited to the locker room after logging just 23 seconds. If he's unable to return, Jarred Vanderbilt could see a slight bump in minutes.

Timme exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Bulls due to an apparent head injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Timme caught an elbow to the head and stayed down for an extended period before walking back to the locker room. The two-way player should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Timme finished with 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 132-116 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers gave Timme an enhanced role with Deandre Ayton (knee) and Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) on the sidelines. Timme made the most of the opportunity, scoring a career-high 21 points. The big man has put together some scintillating results in the G League, and the two-way Gonzaga product will likely find himself back with the farm team in short order.

Timme (concussion) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Timme has been sidelined with a concussion of late, but he will be available for Sunday's contest. Although he has not appeared in a game for the Lakers since Dec. 5, he could see some run Sunday due to Jaxson Hayes (ankle) being out of the lineup.

EDGE Analysis
Timme hasn't appeared in a game for the Lakers since Dec. 5, and he may be inactive for Sunday's matchup with Sacramento due to a concussion. With Jaxson Hayes (ankle) listed as doubtful, Timme could be a step closer to playing time if available Sunday.
