What happened

Ziaire Williams has sat out the Lakers' last three games with a left foot injury, and JJ Redick said the imaging looked clean. He described the issue as morning soreness and said Williams is feeling better.

Redick said Los Angeles is being cautious because of the back-to-back, and the Lakers have gone 2-1 without Williams while Jake LaRavia has filled in. The schedule eases after Monday, which could limit further absences.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If Williams remains out Monday, LaRavia and the wing rotation likely keep absorbing his minutes until the Lakers face a less crowded schedule.
