GAME LOG

Dalton Knecht - Joins starting lineup Knecht moves into the starting lineup Wednesday versus Memphis while Rui Hachimura (illness) is unavailable, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Impact Knecht enters the first start of his NBA career having exceeded 15 minutes of action on four occasions thus far, but his playing time has fluctuated overall. Knecht is a candidate to receive a steady diet of spot-up looks for a Lakers lineup in need of shooting.

NOVEMBER 7 • KANSASCITY.COM
Austin Reaves - Good to go Wednesday Reaves (ankle) has been cleared for Wednesday's game versus Memphis, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact Reaves will have to shoulder a larger offensive burden with Anthony Davis (ankle) unavailable Wednesday. Notably, D'Angelo Russell (foot) has been cleared as well, which brings the Lakers' backcourt to full strength.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
D'Angelo Russell - Officially available Russell (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact As expected, Russell has been upgraded from probable to available and will continue to play through a minor right foot contusion. He's scored in double digits in five straight games, averaging 14.0 points, 6.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 30.8 minutes during that stretch.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Koloko - Will be in rotation Wednesday Koloko (illness) will make his season debut as part of the Lakers' center rotation Wednesday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Koloko will see live game action for the first time April 9, 2023 -- which was part of a rookie campaign that featured 58 appearances with Toronto. The 24-year-old overcoming blood clot issues to return to the court is an amazing story, and it coincides with a rare opportunity to step up as Anthony Davis (ankle) has been ruled out Wednesday. Koloko flashed shot-blocking prowess as a rookie, and he has an opportunity to carve out a role in Los Angeles' bench rotation moving forward.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Hachimura - Out sick Wednesday Hachimura (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Hachimura was initially doubtful but got upgraded to questionable a few hours before tipoff. Regardless, he'll miss his first game of the season and be joined on the sidelines by Anthony Davis (heel). In Hachimura's absence, Dalton Knecht could draw his first career start, while Cam Reddish and Gabe Vincent are also candidates for increased roles.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Davis - Unavailable Wednesday Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Davis and Rui Hachimura (illness) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's contest, marking the first absences from any Lakers starters yet this season. The Lakers rank 21st in defensive rating even with Davis thus far, so subtracting him will be a sizable loss on both ends. Jaxson Hayes is a top candidate to slide into the starting lineup.

Anthony Davis - Participating at shootaround Davis (ankle) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.
Impact Davis continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of tipoff, but it's a good sign that he's able to get some shots up with ease. He appeared to be moving well, but it's possible the Lakers wait and see how he feels after warmups before a decision is made.

Rui Hachimura - Doubtful for Wednesday Hachimura (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hachimura was a very late addition to the injury report and is expected to be held out Wednesday evening. With Anthony Davis (ankle) considered questionable, the Lakers could potentially have a lot of minutes up for grabs. If Hachimura does end up sitting as expected, it's likely that the Lakers will utilize smaller lineups with players such as Cam Reddish and Dalton Knecht benefitting.

Christian Koloko - Not listed on injury report Koloko (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact Koloko dealt with a blot clot issue that sidelined him for the entire 2023-24 campaign, but he's been making strong progress over the past few weeks. While he's not listed on the injury report, Koloko likely won't be thrust into the rotation right away and is expected to spend most of his time in the G League given his two-way status.
