Rotoworld Player News

Quentin Grimes

LAL Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Quentin Grimes (finger) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Bucks.

Grimes injured a finger on his right hand during Sunday’s win over the Pistons and did not play the following night against the Hawks. If he can play on Wednesday, Grimes will return to his usual reserve role.
Austin Reaves

LAL Guard #15

Austin Reaves (illness) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Bucks.

Reaves did not play in Monday’s win over the Hawks. With Quentin Grimes also out, Ziaire Williams returned to the starting lineup. Either Williams or Jake LaRavia is likely to come off the bench on Wednesday.
Carson Cooper

LAL Forward #20

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that the Lakers signed Carson Cooper to a two-way contract.

Not selected in the 2026 draft, Cooper began the season on a two-way deal with the Grizzlies and appeared in one game. He’ll join the Lakers on a similar deal, and Lawson Lovering has been waived to open up a two-way slot for Cooper.
Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Luka Dončić accumulated 32 points (11-of-22 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, 10 assists, five steals and two blocks over 39 minutes to lead the Lakers to a 124-114 win over the Hawks on Monday.

Dončić fell short of the 40-point plateau in his return from a one-game absence due to a minor back issue, but showed no signs of rust, turning in another spectacular all-around performance that left him two rebounds shy of a triple-double. He scored 18 of his 32 points after halftime, helping Los Angeles withstand a late Atlanta rally before pulling away in the closing minutes. The Lakers were also without Austin Reaves (illness) in this one, making Dončić’s latest all-around performance even more impressive. The 27-year-old franchise cornerstone has been virtually unstoppable through the early stages of the season and has quickly established himself as the frontrunner in the MVP race.
Walker Kessler

LAL Center #14

Walker Kessler delivered 21 points (8-of-12 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 30 minutes in Monday’s win over the Hawks.

Kessler got off to an outstanding start with 15 first-half points and he managed to pull down just enough rebounds to notch a double-double for the seventh consecutive game since late October. The 25-year-old big man has fit seamlessly into Los Angeles’ nucleus after missing nearly all of last season following shoulder surgery.
Sandro Mamukelashvili

LAL Forward-Center #54

Sandro Mamukelashvili chipped in 23 points (7-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes off the bench in Monday’s win over the Hawks.

Mamukelashvili saw a massive uptick in minutes and offensive opportunities with Austin Reaves sitting out due to illness on the tail-end of a back-to-back for the Lakers. The 27-year-old drained 5-of-8 shots from three-point range and established season-high marks in both minutes and points. His fantasy appeal is strictly limited to situation-dependent matchups like this one where he receives extra chances.
Ziaire Williams

LAL Forward #11

Luka Dončić, Matisse Thybulle, Ziaire Williams, Jake LaRavia and Walker Kessler will start Monday’s game against the Hawks.

While Dončić is back after missing Sunday’s win over the Pistons, the Lakers won’t have Austin Reaves or Quentin Grimes. As a result, Williams will return to the starting lineup for the first time since October 28.
Austin Reaves

LAL Guard #15

Austin Reaves (illness) is out for Monday’s game against the Hawks.

One day removed from scoring a season-high 43 points in a win over the Pistons, Reaves will not play on Monday. As a result, Collin Sexton should play more, even with Luka Dončić (back) returning to action.
Quentin Grimes

LAL Guard #5

Quentin Grimes (finger) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Grimes sustained the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win over Detroit, and it will cost him at least one game. With Austin Reaves (illness) questionable, more minutes could be available for Collin Sexton and Jake LaRavia.
Austin Reaves

LAL Guard #15

Austin Reaves (illness) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Reaves - who scored 43 in Sunday’s win over Detroit - is a late addition to the injury report, and he’s in danger of sitting out the second leg of LA’s back-to-back set. With Quentin Grimes (finger) ruled out, the Lakers will be thin on the wing, meaning Collin Sexton and Jake LaRavia could enjoy additional playing time if Reaves is ultimately ruled out.
