Updated on October 31, 2025 at 6:36pm

LaRavia will come off the bench for Friday's game in Memphis, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

LaRavia started the past two games with the Lakers banged up, but Marcus Smart (quad) and Luka Doncic (finger) are back for Friday's game, so LaRavia will return to a reserve role. Through three games as a reserve this season, LaRavia owns averages of 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.4 minutes a night.
