Rotoworld Player News

Ziaire Williams

LAL Forward #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ziaire Williams (foot) is questionable to play against the Warriors on Friday.

Williams missed Wednesday’s game, which resulted in Jake LaRavia starting and playing 35 minutes. LaRavia contributed 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks and will likely head back to the bench if Williams is available to play.
Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Luka Dončić (back) is not on the injury report against the Warriors on Friday.

Dončić missed Wednesday’s game against the Clippers, which came on the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll be back to his usual spot in the starting lineup, which will likely push Quentin Grimes back to the bench following a productive spot start.
Sandro Mamukelashvili

LAL Forward-Center #54

Sandro Mamukelashvili tallied 13 points (6-of-15 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers.

After totaling 21 points in the Lakers’ first three games, Mamukelashvili has hit double figures in each of his last two. Against the Clippers, his perimeter shot wasn’t falling, as he missed all five three-point attempts. But Mamu was 6-of-10 from two, and he did a little of everything else. Despite the bench role, Mamukelashvili is worth rostering in deep leagues.
Quentin Grimes

LAL Guard #5

Quentin Grimes accumulated 23 points (7-of-15 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and four steals in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers.

Grimes replaced the injured Luka Dončić (back) in the starting lineup on Wednesday, and he was excellent. He led all scorers with 23 points and added some assists and steals. Grimes shot 0-of-3 from beyond the arc, but he was over 50 percent from two. Even in his usual reserve role, Grimes is worth rostering in deeper leagues because the Lakers need scorers beyond Dončić and Austin Reaves, and he can fill that role.
Matisse Thybulle

LAL Guard-Forward #4

Matisse Thybulle amassed 15 points (5-of-6 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers.

Entering Wednesday, Thybulle was shooting 42.1 percent from three. His 4-of-5 night against the Clippers will increase that percentage, and fantasy managers can also benefit from the defensive stats. Given his play so far and the starting role, Thybulle should be rostered in deeper fantasy leagues.
Austin Reaves

LAL Guard #15

Austin Reaves accounted for 16 points (6-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers.

The Lakers didn’t have Luka Dončić (back) on Wednesday, with his absence shifting Reaves into the starting point guard role. Unfortunately for fantasy managers hoping for more production from Reaves, it didn’t happen. More damaging than the field-goal percentage was the turnover count, as he racked up eight. The good news is that the Lakers play two more games in Week 2, starting with the Warriors on Friday.
Collin Sexton

LAL Guard #10

Collin Sexton finished Wednesday’s win over the Clippers with 21 points (6-of-11 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers.

In his first three games this season, Sexton totaled 27 points on 11-of-28 shooting from the field. With Luka Dončić (back) out, Sexton didn’t move into the starting lineup, but his playmaking role off the bench became even more important on Wednesday. The veteran guard shot over 50 percent from the field overall and 4-of-7 from three in his best performance of the season to date. While he hasn’t been consistent enough to merit a roster spot in 12-team leagues, Sexton is worth considering in deeper leagues.
Quentin Grimes

LAL Guard #5

Austin Reaves, Quentin Grimes, Matisse Thybulle, Jake LaRavia and Walker Kessler will start Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.

Luka Dončić and Ziaire Williams will miss Wednesday’s game, the Lakers’ second in as many nights. Grimes and LaRavia will replace them in the lineup, which also means Austin Reaves will take on the primary playmaking responsibilities for the starters.
Lawson Lovering

LAL Center #34

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Lakers have signed Lawson Lovering to a two-way contract. Lovering spent time with the Grizzlies last season and even made a start for them. However, most of his time will likely be spent in the G League.

To clear the spot, they subsequently waived AK Okereke
Ziaire Williams

LAL Forward #11

Ziaire Williams (foot) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.

Williams is dealing with left foot soreness and will miss Wednesday’s matchup with the Clippers. Jake LaRavia and Quentin Grimes are candidates to move into the starting lineup and see more minutes with Williams sidelined.
