D'Angelo Russell - Iffy for Monday Russell is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to a right foot contusion, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact This is a new injury for Russell, as he was previously dealing with a minor back issue. He's scored in double figures in four straight games, averaging 14.8 points, 6.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game during that stretch. If he's sidelined, Gabe Vincent, Max Christie and Dalton Knecht would be candidates for increased minutes.

Anthony Davis - Likely to play Monday Davis (hip) is listed as probable for Monday's matchup versus the Pistons, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Davis will likely play through right hip soreness as he looks to continue his dominant season, during which he has averaged 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 4.0 steals-plus-blocks and 2.8 assists across 35.8 minutes per game in six regular-season outings. The big man has produced a double-double in three consecutive games, and he has amassed four total on the season.

Jaxson Hayes - NBA reopening investigation The NBA is reopening an investigation into a 2021 altercation involving Hayes and his former girlfriend, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

Impact The NBA did not discipline Hayes following its initial investigation into Hayes' 2021 arrest, but new footage was released by TMZ on Saturday. "We're obviously aware that the investigation has been reopened, and we're going to cooperate fully," coach JJ Redick said after Saturday's practice.

Austin Reaves - Practices Sunday Reaves participated in Sunday's practice and was spotted icing his ankle afterward, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reaves went to the locker room during Friday night's game against the Raptors with a lower body injury and was later able to re-enter the matchup, but it appears he's still feeling the issue days later. His availability for Monday's game in Detroit doesn't appear to be in jeopardy at this time, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Lakers add him to the injury report later in the day if the injury is still bugging him.

Jarred Vanderbilt - Takes part in shooting drills Vanderbilt (foot) was spotted participating in light shooting drills following Sunday's practice, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Vanderbilt doesn't appear to be all that close to a return to play just yet, but he's trending in the right direction. If all goes well in his rehab, fantasy managers could see the forward continue to ramp up basketball activities over the next week or so, at which point another update is expected to surface.

Anthony Davis - Posts season-high 38 points Davis supplied 38 points (14-20 FG, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 131-125 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Davis played through a hip injury Saturday and turned in his best performance of the season.

The superstar big man has also recorded at least one steal and one block in all six of his appearances in 2024-25.

Rui Hachimura - Quiet again Friday Hachimura finished Friday's 131-125 victory over Toronto with nine points (3-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes.

Impact Hachimura managed just nine points in the loss, his second straight game scoring in single-digits. While it is frustrating, the positive is that his playing time has remained relatively consistent no matter his statistical output. He has exceeded 30 minutes in all but one game thus far, averaging 14.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers. Despite his recent struggles, Hachimura should continue to serve as a key piece for the Lakers, making him a viable target.

Jaxson Hayes - Blocks two shots Friday Hayes supplied four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks over 15 minutes during Friday's 131-125 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Hayes blocked a season-high two shots, although his playing time remains underwhelming. Anthony Davis has started the season on fire, limiting Hayes to just 15.7 minutes per night. While he can be a decent per-minute producer, he would need for Davis to miss time to have any shot at playing meaningful minutes.
