LaRavia has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness.
LaRavia is a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up Wednesday. If the 2022 first-rounder is ultimately ruled out, Keon Ellis and Trey Lyles should pick up the slack off the bench against Cleveland.

Kings' Jake LaRavia: Delivers 15 points off the bench
Rotowire
LaRavia provided 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Nuggets.
Although LaRavia was held scoreless in the second half, he came out hot off the bench and scored 11 points in quick succession. Domantas Sabonis' (hamstring) extended absence should end up working in LaRavia's favor as the Kings try to make up for the lost production. Malik Monk's (toe) absence also helped out LaRavia's bottom line during the loss.

Kings' Jake LaRavia: Decent showing off bench
Rotowire
LaRavia provided eight points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Monday's 122-98 victory over the Mavericks.
With Domantas Sabonis set to miss some time with a hamstring issue, LaRavia is one of a number of players who could see a small uptick in playing time. Monday's game was a step in the right direction for LaRavia, as he was held to five points or fewer in his previous seven outings -- that included four scoreless duds.

Kings' Jake LaRavia: Set for Sacramento debut
Rotowire
LaRavia was recently acquired by the Kings in a trade and has been cleared to play Saturday against the Pelicans.
LaRavia will be available to play Saturday against the Pelicans. In 47 games played for the Grizzlies, the 23-year-old forward averaged 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting a career-high 49 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc. He should add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt for Sacramento.

Kings' Jake LaRavia: Dealt to Sacramento
Rotowire
The Kings acquired LaRavia from the Grizzlies on Thursday in a three-team deal that also involves the Wizards, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Memphis will receive guard Johnny Davis, center Marvin Bagley (knee) and three second-round picks in the deal, while Washington will acquire guard Marcus Smart, center Alex Len, forward Colby Jones and a 2025 first-round pick. The Grizzlies declined LaRavia's 2025-26 team option in late October, a decision the club may regret after he produced well in his opportunities. In 47 appearances this season, the forward averaged 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 20.9 minutes. The 2022 first-round pick should slot in as a backup behind both DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray, a role that will likely afford him a handful of minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Records four steals
Rotowire
LaRavia racked up six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 128-109 win over San Antonio.
LaRavia recorded a career-high four steals in the win. Although he's been playing a sizable role with the second unit, that could come to an end shortly -- Marcus Smart (finger) and Vince Williams (ankle) are nearing returns from their respective injuries, and GG Jackson appears to be turning a corner with his play.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Handles light role in return
Rotowire
LaRavia (back) tallied two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and two steals across 13 minutes Monday in the Grizzlies' 143-106 loss to the Knicks.
LaRavia made his return to action after missing the Grizzlies' previous three games with a lumbar stress reaction. The third-year forward has averaged 21.6 minutes per game over 43 appearances on the season, but his playing time could remain more sparse moving forward while the Grizzlies have nearly their entire rotation at full health, with the exceptions of Marcus Smart (finger) and Vince Williams (ankle). Though LaRavia was able to pick up some playing time while Monday's contest was competitive, four of his minutes came late in the fourth quarter, when he checked back into the game when the Grizzlies were trailing by 34 points and had essentially conceded defeat.

Rotowire

LaRavia will miss his second consecutive contest due to low back soreness, and his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Jazz.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Provides boost off bench Monday
Rotowire
LaRavia posted 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to the Rockets.
LaRavia provided a boost off Memphis' bench with an efficient 12 points and seven boards, also picking up two steals Monday. The 23-year-old forward is now averaging 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 threes in 21.4 minutes through his last six outings. With the Grizzlies' frontcourt healthy at the moment, LaRavia should remain stuck in a clear reserve role going forward, thus reducing his fantasy upside.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Hands out career-high 10 assists
Rotowire
LaRavia totaled 17 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and a career-high 10 assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 loss to the Warriors.
LaRavia handed out a career-high 10 assists Saturday, stepping up as a distributor off the bench in a big way amid the ongoing absence of star playmaker Ja Morant (shoulder). Still, LaRavia remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option for the most part, as he's averaging just 9.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 threes in 19.7 minutes over his last eight games. The 2022 first-round pick is shooting a sizzling 66.7 percent from deep during this stretch, though. If Luke Kennard (hamstring) remains out for Monday's game against the Mavericks, LaRavia should play a defined role from Memphis' second unit once again.
