CAM REDDISH NEWS

Off injury report for Tuesday Reddish (leg) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Reddish will seemingly return to game action after a one-game absence due to a strained tendon in his lower right leg that he sustained during Friday's win over the Spurs. In November, the 25-year-old has averaged 5.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 23.2 minutes per game while shooting 63.2 percent from the field in six outings (four starts).

Impact Reddish strained the tendon in his lower right leg against the Spurs on Friday, and he will sit in the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back Saturday. That leaves the door open for D'Angelo Russell to return to the starting lineup alongside Austin Reaves and rookie Dalton Knecht.

The Los Angeles Lakers have replaced D’Angelo Russell with Cam Reddish in their starting lineup to shake up the slumping team

Starting Friday Reddish will get the start in Los Angeles' backcourt in Friday's matchup with the 76ers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reddish will replace D'Angelo Russell in the starting lineup, as head coach JJ Redick is opting to shake things up. Reddish will share the backcourt with Austin Reaves. He has averaged 5.0 points and 4.0 rebounds across 16.3 minutes in three games off the bench this year.

Provides spark off bench Reddish accumulated 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact With Rui Hachimura (illness) out, Reddish played a season-high 26 minutes against Memphis. Reddish had not scored this before Wednesday's contest but led the Lakers' bench in points. However, unless the 25-year-old forward becomes a more consistent part of Los Angeles' rotation, he is unlikely to attract serious fantasy interest.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 14 minutes Reddish amassed five rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Monday's 115-103 loss to the Pistons.

Impact This was Reddish's second appearance of the season, and while he's yet to put up any points, he did make a strong impact on the game that wasn't reflected in the box score. Even if his role trends up, Reddish is more of a defensive specialist and he doesn't have a ton of upside in fantasy basketball.

Impact Reddish has been dealing with lingering injuries of late, but he will officially be available for the team's second preseason game.

Says he's good to go Reddish (ankle) said Monday he's good to go for training camp, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Reddish battled numerous injuries last season, including a lingering ankle issue that sidelined him for the postseason. The Duke product shined defensively at times when the Lakers were shorthanded, but with Gabe Vincent and Jalen Hoo-Schifino back in the mix, plus the additions of Dalton Knecht and Bronny James, Reddish has an uphill battle for playing time in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old has bounced around as of late, playing for four different teams over the last three years. Reddish has failed to live up to his draft stock, and he will hope to improve next season before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2025-26.

Dealing with ankle trouble Reddish is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against New Orleans due to a right ankle sprain, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Reddish did not suit up for the final two games of the regular season, missing a contest due to personal matters and being a healthy scratch for the finale. He's now dealing with pain in the same ankle that has sidelined him for multiple stretches this season, although he has been a minimal factor in the Lakers' rotation of late. Nonetheless, if he's unavailable to play Tuesday, defensive burden on the wings will fall entirely on the shoulders of Taurean Prince, Rui Hachimura and LeBron James (ankle).
