Cleared for Game 3 LaRavia (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Game 3 against the Rockets on Friday.

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.
