  • Cam Reddish (ankle) to remain out Saturday vs. DEN
    Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) is out for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

    Advice: Reddish’s continued absence will not significantly impact the Lakers’ rotation, as Gabe Vincent moved ahead of him in the pecking order before the ankle injury. Those competing in playoff fantasy/DFS tournaments can afford to leave Vincent alone. Rotoworld 2 minutes ago

  • Ruled out for Game 1
    Reddish (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

  • Probable for Game 1
    James (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: James has once again been added to the team's injury report due to left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, but he should be able to continue to play through the issue. He's coming off a strong showing in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Pelicans, falling one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Expected to play in Game 1
    Davis (back) is probable for Saturday's Game 1 against Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Davis continues to be added to the injury report due to low back soreness, but the issue isn't expected to keep him out of Saturday's action. The team should confirm his availability closer to tipoff. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Spotted in walking boot
    Vanderbilt (foot) was wearing a walking boot during Friday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Previous reports have suggested that Vanderbilt is getting close to a return, which is why it was curious to see him wearing a boot. However, coach Darvin Ham stated after practice that the boot is simply a "precautionary measure," per Jovan Buha of The Athletic, and the forward hasn't suffered any kind of setback. The team has yet to provide a concrete timeline for Vanderbilt's return, simply stating that he's being considered day-to-day. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago

  • Joins starting five
    Jaquez is starting Friday's Play-In Game against the Bulls.

    Advice: Jaquez will take the place of Jimmy Butler, who is expected to miss several weeks with an MCL sprain. While Butler is surely a big loss for the Heat, Jaquez has shown that he can produce while playing with the first unit, scoring in double figures in 16 of 20 starts during the regular season.

  • Back at practice Friday
    Lillard (adductor) practiced Friday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Lillard didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday to rest lingering injuries but is trending in the right direction after putting in a full session Friday. However, his status for Game 1 of the opening-round series against Indiana on Sunday likely won't be known until Saturday afternoon. Rotowire.com Today, 3:14 pm
