Jake LaRavia News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies | FOX Sports

Listed doubtful for Saturday LaRavia (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's meeting with the Jazz.

Impact LaRavia is a late addition to the injury report for the Grizzlies due to a non-COVID illness, joining Ja Morant who is also dealing with a non-COVID illness as doubtful. LaRavia recorded a career-high 30 minutes in his most recent game, largely due to John Konchar's (shoulder) absence, and played well enough to possibly earn more playing time going forward even when the Grizzlies are healthy.

Goes for career-high 13 points LaRavia closed Thursday's 125-110 victory over the Kings with 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes.

Impact LaRavia stepped into a more extensive role in the win, thanks mainly to the absence of John Konchar. He has looked relatively impressive in limited minutes and could be a name to watch. He would likely need a couple of players to go down before becoming a fantasy consideration, so in the meantime, monitor his playing time.

Lessened role in win LaRavia had zero points (0-2 FG) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Monday's 134-124 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact LaRavia entered Monday's contest averaging 7.7 points in 16.7 minutes per contest, but the return of Dillon Brooks (thigh) dented his role substantially. The 6-foot-8 LaRavia was solid to begin his career, knocking down 6-of-11 threes, but with the Grizzlies close to full strength, the rookie will likely return to an end-of-bench role.

Should compete for starting job LaRavia is expected to compete for a starting role ahead of the 2022-23 season, Joe Mullinax of Locked On Grizzlies reports.

Impact LaRavia was a first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft after performing well at Wake Forest last year, and a starting role should be available in the Grizzlies' frontcourt since Jaren Jackson (foot) is expected to miss several months following a procedure that he underwent in late June. LaRavia is best known for his offensive impact, as he shot 36.4 percent from beyond the arc over his three collegiate seasons and averaged 14.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 34.1 games with the Demon Deacons last year. The 20-year-old had a lackluster performance in the Summer League last month but should be firmly in the competition for a starting role early in the year.
