Jake LaRavia News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Catches fire in fourth quarter LaRavia accumulated 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers.

Impact His efforts weren't enough to bring Memphis back against a suddenly hot Lakers squad, but LaRavia at least helped keep the Grizzlies from being completely blown out with 14 of his 25 points in the fourth period. Overall, the second-year forward scored all but four of his points from beyond the arc, and his seven three-pointers more than doubled his previous career-best mark of three. LaRavia is usually good for a triple or two per contest, so there's little reason to expect this type of output from deep on a consistent basis, though he has held some low-end fantasy value of late with averages of 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals through 14 games in March.

Good to go LaRavia (illness) has been cleared to play Monday night against the Nuggets.

Impact LaRavia was tagged as a game-time call due to illness, but he feels healthy enough to give it a go Monday night. He's averaging 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five contests.

Dealing with illness LaRavia is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness.

Impact LaRavia continues to deal with an illness that caused him to be a late addition to the injury report ahead of Friday's game. He was able to play 28 minutes Friday, however, which bodes well for his chances Monday. The Grizzlies already find themselves extremely shorthanded, so LaRavia's absence would be significant for the rotation.

Available Friday LaRavia (illness) is good to go for Friday's game in San Antonio, Konchar (heel) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Impact LaRavia was a late addition to the Grizzlies' injury report, but it looks like the team was just exercising caution at the time. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at forward assuming he avoids any setbacks. The 22-year-old has averaged 11.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 triples across 30.0 minutes over his previous five games.

Questionable for Friday LaRavia is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.

Impact LaRavia wasn't on the Grizzlies' initial injury report, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up due to his illness. If he's sidelined, his absence would leave the Grizzlies incredibly shorthanded, as the team already had a lengthy injury report before LaRavia was added.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench LaRavia will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards.

Impact Memphis' lineups continue to be all over the place, but LaRavia is likely to maintain a decent role with the amount of injuries on the roster. In his last outing Sunday versus the Thunder, LaRavia had 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 13 points LaRavia closed Sunday's 124-93 loss to the Thunder with 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

Impact After a very shaky start to the season, LaRavia seems to have finally found some confidence. Over his last four games, the forward has compiled averages of 15.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Sunday LaRavia will start Sunday's game at Oklahoma City.

Impact The Grizzlies' injury report is nearing record levels Sunday, so they'll roll out a starting five of GG Jackson, Luke Kennard, Jake LaRavia, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson. It will be the first career NBA start for LaRavia, who the Grizzlies selected in the first round in 2022. Over his last eight games, the Wake Forest product is averaging 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 made threes in 23.9 minutes.

MARCH 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double off bench in Philly LaRavia notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and three blocks in 32 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 115-109 win over Philadelphia.

Impact The second-year forward delivered his second straight double-double, which are the only two of LaRevia's career. He's taken on a large role in the Grizzlies' rotation since the All-Star break, averaging 23.6 minutes over the last seven games, and he's turned that court time into 11.1 points, 5.9 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals a contest. The holes in LaRevia's game are apparent -- he's shooting 36.9 percent from the floor during that time, and 25.9 percent (7-for-27) from beyond the arc -- but Memphis' injury woes this season have left them with little choice but to try and accelerate the development of the 2022 first-round pick.

Solid output off bench Monday LaRavia contributed 14 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 106-102 win over the Nets.

Impact LaRavia missed 17 consecutive games between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15 due to a nagging ankle injury, but he's been playing regularly off the bench since the end of the All-Star break and has surpassed the 20-minute mark in three of those six outings. LaRavia has also scored in double digits three times in that span, and even though his bench role limits his upside considerably, he could be used as a streaming alternative in deep formats. After all, he's producing 9.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 22.2 minutes per game in that six-game span.

MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits for career-high 21 in loss LaRavia amassed 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 122-92 loss to Portland.

Impact The 19th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft has a golden opportunity in front of him due to all the injuries in Memphis, and at least for one night LaRavia took advantage, delivering a career-high scoring effort. In four games since returning from an ankle injury of his own however, the 22-year-old forward is averaging just 9.8 points, 4.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals.

Chips in across the board LaRavia ended Monday's 111-86 loss to Brooklyn with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes.

Impact LaRavia was one of just three Grizzlies to post double-digit scoring in a dismal affair collectively. The third-year wing has yet to carve out a niche, but he should have ample opportunity with Memphis fully prioritizing development and experimentation down the stretch.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cracks rotation in return LaRavia (ankle) recorded three points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes Friday in the Grizzlies' 101-95 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Making his first appearance for Memphis in more than five weeks after missing time with a left ankle sprain, LaRavia took hold of a rotation spot for the injury riddled Grizzlies. He provided a useful output in the steals column, but the poor shooting took a better fantasy line off the table for LaRavia. The 2022 first-round pick might be able to hold down a spot on the second unit for the foreseeable future, but he'll need to get more minutes before he warrants much attention outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Clippers LaRavia (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Clippers, Parker Fleming of parkerflemingblog.com reports.

Impact LaRavia has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Memphis' last 17 games due to a left ankle sprain. However, it wouldn't be surprising for the 22-year-old guard to operate under a minutes restriction.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially listed as questionable LaRavia is questionable to play Friday against the Clippers due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact The Grizzlies are not taking any risks with any of their players, and they're going to evaluate LaRavia on Friday, though recent reports indicate he's trending in the right direction. For what is worth, LaRavia was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is expected to play Friday against the Clippers.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Friday LaRavia (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and he's expected to play Friday against the Clippers, Jonah Dylan of Memphis News reports.

Impact LaRavia has been out since January 13, so he'll likely have a strict minutes cap in his first game back, but he'll certainly see a ton of opportunity once he's fully up to speed. He's someone to put on your watchlist in deep leagues.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still out LaRavia (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact LaRavia will miss his 17th straight game Thursday due to a left ankle sprain. While there is no timetable for LaRavia's return, his next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break on Feb. 23 against the Clippers.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another absence coming LaRavia (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact LaRavia's absence streak will extend to 16 games Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up before the All-Star Break is against Milwaukee on Thursday.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out, timeline TBD LaRavia (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact LaRavia hasn't played since Jan. 13 due to a Grade 2 high left ankle sprain. A day after he suffered the injury, the Grizzlies announced that he would be re-evaluated in three weeks, but that period has come and passed without the team providing an official update on his status. Until the Grizzlies indicate that LaRavia is taking part in practice, he can probably be viewed as week-to-week rather than day-to-day.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss at least three weeks The Grizzlies announced Sunday that LaRavia has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 high left ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Impact LaRavia suffered his injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Knicks and will be forced to miss multiple weeks following his diagnosis. He hasn't had a consistent spot in the Grizzlies' rotation this year, but the team is dealing with multiple injuries early in the calendar year.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Monday LaRavia (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact LaRavia left Saturday's contest against the Knicks early due to a left ankle sprain that will hold him out of Monday's game. The 22-year-old pro hasn't seen much run for the Grizzlies this season, so his absence doesn't figure to impact the rotation much.
