The Los Angeles Lakers have gotten off to a hot start to the 2026-27 NBA season, with Luka Doncic and company winning two straight games in convincing fashion against the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers.

Although the Lakers are headed in the right direction this season, the team continues to deal with injuries to the squad’s youngest players, rookie Cameron Carr and second-year forward Adou Thiero.

Jake LaRavia Officially Cleared to Play vs. Jazz

However, the Lakers did get some good news on Saturday. Jake LaRavia, who went down with an ankle injury in the season opener against the Warriors, is officially off the injury report and available to play in Sunday’s game on the road against the Utah Jazz.

LaRavia is one of the most durable players on the team, as he prides himself on playing all 82 regular-season games, a feat he accomplished last season. He led the league in that category during the 2025-26 campaign.

With the Lakers already looking like a well-oiled machine, getting LaRavia back on the floor is another step in the right direction for the storied franchise as they try to start the season with a perfect 3-0 record.
