    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) ruled out for Game 3
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) will not play in Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: THJ exited early from Game 2 after an awkward fall, and he will remain sidelined for Game 3. Josh Green should fill out his role off the bench, though he went scoreless in 14 minutes on Tuesday. Dante Exum should also take on some extra minutes. Rotoworld Today, 10:13 am
       
    • Out for Game 3
      Hardaway (ankle) won't play in Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers and will be re-evaluated in a couple of days, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Hardaway will miss Friday's contest after leaving Game 2 early with a right ankle sprain. Derrick Jones, Dante Exum and Josh Green could receive extended minutes in his absence. Hardaway's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am
       
    • Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
      Jarred Vanderbilt (right mid-foot sprain) has been ruled out for the Lakers’ Thursday matchup against the Nuggets

      Advice: Vanderbilt was aiming for a 2024 playoff debut in Game 3 but isn’t quite ready to make a return. He’ll get another chance to suit up for Game 4 on Saturday and Rui Hachimura will continue to carry a heavy workload during his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:26 pm
       
    • Missing Game 3
      Vanderbilt (foot) won't play in Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Vanderbilt was highly involved in the Lakers' shootaround Monday and appears to be nearing his first taste of game action since Feb. 1. However, he'll still be inactive for Thursday's Game 3, making Saturday's Game 4 Vanderbilt's next chance to go. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:20 pm
       
    • Out for remainder of game
      Hardaway won't return to Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain. He will finish the contest with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in six minutes.

      Advice: Hardaway saw minimal action Tuesday before suffering a right ankle sprain that will cause him to miss the remainder of the contest. Dante Exum and Josh Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Hardaway's availability for Game 3 on Friday is uncertain. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:06 pm
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) will not return Tuesday
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) will not return to Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.

      Advice: Hardaway landed awkwardly after being bumped in mid-air by Paul George while attempting a 3-pointer. The play wasn’t malicious on George’s part, but Hardaway sprained his ankle and has since been ruled out for the rest of Game 2. Josh Green was the first perimeter sub off the bench in the third quarter, likely a sign that his minutes will be impacted the most by THJ’s absence. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:52 pm
       
    • Passive performance Tuesday
      Beal posted 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Beal was relatively quiet in the loss, much like his teammates. Despite keeping it close, Phoenix was simply overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, both inside and outside the paint. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, the Suns will look to get back on track Friday when they host Game 3. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:48 pm
       
    • Won't suit up Wednesday
      Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

      Advice: Rozier will now miss his eighth straight game, and it is unclear whether the team will look to rush him back for the remainder of the series without Jimmy Butler (knee). The 30-year-old is considered week-to-week and against the Celtics, so it would not come as a surprise for Rozier to miss the entirety of the series. With Rozier out, Delon Wright, Duncan Robinson and Patty Mills are all likely candidates to see an uptick in playing time. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:03 pm
       
    • Report: Jarred Vanderbilt targeting Game 3 return
      According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, Jarred Vanderbilt (right mid-foot sprain) targets Thursday’s Game 3 against the Nuggets as his return date.

      Advice: Vanderbilt was limited to 29 appearances during the regular season, the last of which occurred on February 1 in a win over the Celtics. He has reportedly been progressing in his recovery, and Thursday’s Game 3 could be when Vanderbilt returns to game action. According to McMenamin, the Lakers forward went through one of his most strenuous workouts on Monday, and the key now is how his body responds in the coming days. Vanderbilt won’t add much offensively, but when healthy, he is one of the Lakers’ best defenders. Rotoworld Monday, 8:06 pm
