What happened

Rookie Cameron Carr has not played since Oct. 6 because of a right oblique strain, but coach JJ Redick said he practiced fully Tuesday with the Lakers' G League affiliate.

Redick called that session a very important step, saying the team wanted Carr to handle contact and keep ramping up during a week without practice.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Full practice points to progress toward a return, but Carr’s next game availability is still unconfirmed while the Lakers manage his ramp-up.
