What happened

The Lakers ruled Quentin Grimes out for Wednesday in Milwaukee, and the wing will miss a second straight game after a sprained right shooting finger.

Austin Reaves is available after illness, and newly signed two-way center Carson Cooper joined the team in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Grimes’ absence trims Los Angeles’ backcourt options again, while Reaves’ return and Cooper’s arrival slightly change the available rotation pool.
