The Story in 60 Seconds

The Los Angeles Lakers have ruled out young players Adou Thiero and Cameron Carr for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz due to ongoing injuries. Thiero remains sidelined with left knee swelling, while Carr continues his recovery from a right oblique strain. Neither player has featured in the Lakers' first two victories of the season, and the team has not established a return timetable for either youngster.

Despite their absences, head coach JJ Redick's squad enters the contest at 2-0 following wins against the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers. The Lakers will receive a roster boost as forward Jake LaRavia is set to return from an ankle sprain, while center Walker Kessler remains available despite a finger issue.
