Report: Lakers update Jake LaRavia’s status, rule out 2 players vs. Jazz

The Los Angeles Lakers have removed forward Jake LaRavia from the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. LaRavia is expected to return after missing one game due to a sprained right ankle sustained during Wednesday's season opener against the Golden State Warriors. Meanwhile, the team has ruled out Adou Thiero and Cameron Carr, who both remain unavailable for the contest.

LaRavia previously sat out Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers after head coach JJ Redick noted the forward's ankle was not ready following shootaround. Prior to the injury, LaRavia scored 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting in 18 minutes against the Warriors. Redick praised his winning impact and catch-and-shoot confidence as he prepares to reintegrate him into the rotation.
