Jake LaRavia Will Be Re-Evaluated In 7-10 Days After Injuring Left Thumb
James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports that Sacramento Kings forward Jake LaRavia (thumb) was diagnosed with a bone contusion in his left thumb Friday and will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days. The 23-year-old will now likely miss the next four Kings contests. He could potentially return on April 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. While LaRavia is out of action, veteran forward Doug McDermott and Trey Lyles will likely be in line for expanded roles and extra minutes on the floor.
Sacramento Kings forward Jake LaRavia (thumb) could be out on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers, as the team lists him as questionable on the injury report. He has landed on the report with a sore left thumb, which isn't a serious injury. However, LaRavia might still have to take Thursday night off to recover better. Since arriving from Memphis, LaRavia has steadily improved his performances. He has averaged 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 22.3 minutes over his last five appearances. If LaRavia is unavailable on Thursday, Doug McDermott and Trey Lyles may see more playing time, although they should not be considered strong fantasy options.
Sacramento Kings forward Jake LaRavia (illness) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. LaRavia is back in action after sitting out of Wednesday's game due to an illness. LaRavia has been playing a bigger role lately with 21 minutes or more in six of his last seven games. Despite that, LaRavia has only scored double digits in three of those contests. He'll be a low-end streaming option for Thursday's slate.
Sacramento Kings forward Jake LaRavia (illness) will not be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, and the team has ruled him out after initially listing LaRavia as questionable. The Wake Forest product should now also be considered iffy for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Trey Lyles figures to benefit the most from LaRavia's absence, while Doug McDermott and Isaac Jones may pick up a few extra minutes of action.
The Sacramento Kings are acquiring forward Jake LaRavia in a three-way deal that includes Marcus Smart heading to Washington and multiple second-round picks going to the Grizzlies, who gain roster flexibility as well. The Kings will also send Alex Len to Washington as part of the trade. LaRavia played 47 minutes for the Grizzlies this year off the bench, averaging 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 20.9 minutes per game. The versatile swing-man will likely join the Kings bench and could have a similar workshare once he settles in with his new squad.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (back) will be active against the New York Knicks on Monday. The 23-year-old has overcome a back problem that forced LaRavia to miss three games. LaRavia has had a few good performances in 2024-25 but tends to be inconsistent. He averaged 7.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for the campaign. With Marcus Smart (finger) currently the only regular rotation player absent for the Grizzlies, LaRavia is unlikely to have a significant role in Monday's contest.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (back) is in danger of missing his fourth consecutive game after drawing a questionable tag for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old appeared in all 42 games leading up to this stretch and saw around 21 minutes per contest while averaging 7.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. If he remains sidelined, GG Jackson II, Brandon Clarke, and Santi Aldama (questionable - illness) should all continue to see minutes. If Aldama doesn't play, Jackson would be a solid option in deep leagues.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (back) will miss Wednesday's contest against Charlotte. This is unsurprising, as the team listed LaRavia as doubtful on the initial injury report. LaRavia has flaws in his game, but he has featured fairly prominently in the rotation throughout the campaign, averaging 21.8 minutes a night. We may see more of GG Jackson II and Santi Aldama due to LaRavia's absence on Wednesday. Aldama has already been a regular in the rotation, while Jackson II logged 11 minutes in his season debut on Monday against Minnesota.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (ankle) will not play against Phoenix on Tuesday. He injured his right ankle against Oklahoma City on Sunday and will have to sit out at least one game. LaRavia's first opportunity to return will come on Friday against Sacramento. His absence opens up additional playing time for Luke Kennard and Cam Spencer. They might end up being very heavily involved in Tuesday's action, as the Grizzlies enter the contest with a lengthy list of injuries. LaRavia is among seven absent rotational players.
Jake LaRavia Leads All Scorers In Summer League Final
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia erupted for a game-high 32 points in Monday's championship game in the Las Vegas Summer League, finishing a 120-118 overtime loss to Miami with 11-for-21 shooting. The 22-year-old went 3-for-8 with the three-ball and tallied six rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. LaRavia's Summer League campaign was disrupted by a knee injury, but the former first-round pick made an impressive return to the lineup on Sunday. He enjoyed a good finish to last season, but LaRavia will likely struggle to please fantasy managers in 2024-25 with the Grizzlies back healthy.
