LaRavia (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Game 3 against the Rockets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
LaRavia was forced to exit Tuesday's Game 2 early after picking up a minor ankle sprain, but the issue won't force him to miss additional action. He's recorded six total points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal through his first two appearances of the first round against Houston.

LaRavia is day-to-day with a minor right-ankle sprain, per Dan Woike of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
LaRavia left Tuesday's Game 2 win over the Rockets in the fourth quarter with an apparent right leg injury and has since been diagnosed with a sprain. The fourth-year forward's status appears to be in serious jeopardy for Game 3 on Friday, and his chances of playing should be revealed once the Lakers release an official injury report.

LaRavia exited Tuesday's 101-94 Game 2 win over the Rockets in the fourth quarter and did not return due to an apparent right leg issue, finishing with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across 16 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
LaRavia limped to the locker room with 5:05 remaining in the final quarter and was seemingly trying to stay off his right foot. If the 24-year-old wing is unable to play in Friday's Game 3 in Houston, Marcus Smart, Bronny James and Jarred Vanderbilt would be candidates to see a slight bump in minutes.

LaRavia exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's Game 2 against the Rockets due to an apparent right leg issue, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
LaRavia was seemingly trying to stay off his right foot as he limped to the locker room with 5:05 remaining in the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what he is dealing with, though it wouldn't be surprising if the 24-year-old doesn't return in the final minutes of Tuesday's contest.

LaRavia produced 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-103 victory over Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
With Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) on the shelf, LaRavia stepped up with his best scoring effort since Feb. 3, when he hit for 18 points against the Nets. The fourth-year wing has scored in double digits in three of the last five games, averaging 10.4 points, 6.8 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.4 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch.

LaRavia ended with 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Making his fifth straight start in place of Marcus Smart (ankle), LaRavia scored in double digits for the first time since Feb. 28. During his latest stint in the starting five, the fourth-year wing is averaging 6.2 points, 3.6 boards, 1.8 steals and 0.8 assists in 28.4 minutes while shooting an improbable 76.5 percent from the floor, and it's not clear how much more time Smart might miss as the Lakers fight to hang onto the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

LaRavia will start Monday's game against Detroit, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Marcus Smart (ankle) unavailable, LaRavia will get the starting nod for the first time since the All-Star break. As a starter this season (33 games), he has averaged 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest.

LaRavia registered eight points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
LaRavia has fallen out of a starting role since the All-Star break, limiting his fantasy appeal overall. The fourth-year forward has averaged 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest in his last 11 games (no starts), shooting just 40.7 percent from the floor.

LaRavia is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Clippers on Friday, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Luka Doncic (hamstring) back in the lineup and the Lakers at full strength, LaRavia will slide back to the bench for the first time in 24 games. During that stretch, he averaged 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steal, providing consistent production for a Lakers team that has been dealing with multiple injuries.
