Lakers Injury Report
Luka Dončić – Out (personal reasons)

Marcus Smart – Out (lower back injury management)
Smart remains out due to the same lingering back issue he’s been dealing with.
Raptors Injury Report
RJ Barrett – Out (right knee sprain)
RJ Barrett has been great for Toronto so far this season. His absence will be felt for them as they’ve been a completely different team without him.
Recently, guard Immanuel Quickley said, “The difference is, we’re missing somebody that averaged 23-25 PPG, can get to the free throw line, one of the top-5 players in transition, and also plays defense. We miss RJ a lot; other guys have to step up.”
Ochai Agbaji – Out (personal)
Agbaji is a solid young defensive piece for Toronto and will be missed. His name has come up in trade rumors connected to the Lakers this season.
Jakob Poeltl – Out (injury management)
Poeltl is sitting out due to injury management in order to stay healthy for their back-to-back. However, this is great news for the Lakers as they should feast down low.
