The Lakers have ruled out a key starter against the Warriors, forcing JJ Redick to adjust his lineup for Friday's NBA Cup opener.

The Los Angeles Lakers have ruled out starting forward Ziaire Williams for Friday night's NBA Cup opener against the Golden State Warriors due to left foot injury management. Williams had previously been listed as questionable before being downgraded ahead of the matchup at Chase Center, marking his second consecutive missed game.
While Williams remains sidelined, the Lakers are set to regain Luka Dončić following a bout of back tightness. Forward Jake LaRavia is expected to step into the starting lineup again under head coach JJ Redick, having recorded 10 rebounds in Williams' absence during a 103-87 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
