Player Notes

  • Sidelined for Game 1
    Wood (knee) won't play in Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Wood has yet to take the court since his arthroscopic knee procedure, so his absence shouldn't impact LA's rotation much. It remains unclear if he'll get the green light to return at some point during the postseason. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
  • 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 54 minutes ago

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

    Advice: Vanderbilt will continue to be considered day-to-day as the Lakers navigate through its opening-round series. His next chance to suit up will arrive Monday for Game 2. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
  • 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 59 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 Today, 4:34 pm
  • Eric Gordon active Sunday vs. Timberwolves
    Eric Gordon is listed as active for the Suns’ Sunday matchup against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Gordon missed his team’s regular-season finale with a migraine but is now active ahead of Phoenix’s first playoff game. He’ll suit up in a reserve role against the Timberwolves on Sunday. Rotoworld Today, 3:38 pm
  • 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
  • Andre Drummond (ankle) active Friday vs. Heat
    Andre Drummond (left ankle sprain) is listed as active for the Bulls’ Friday game against the Heat.

    Advice: Drummond wasn’t available for his team’s first play-in game but has a chance to contribute ahead of the weekend. The Bulls center will back up Nikola Vucevic. Rotoworld Today, 3:04 pm
