Lakers guard Cameron Carr moved from day-to-day to out with a right oblique injury on the Saturday injury report. He is not expected to play Sunday at Utah, and the report lists Oct. 27 as his expected return.
What happened
Cameron Carr, a 21-year-old guard, was listed as out on the Lakers' injury report Saturday at 7:21 PM ET. The injury is a right oblique, a torso issue. He had been day-to-day. The report's comment reads: "Carr (oblique) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers." The report gives an expected return date of Oct. 27. His status has changed several times in the past week. He was listed out on Oct. 20, day-to-day and out again on Oct. 22, and day-to-day on Oct. 8 with an undisclosed issue.
What it means for the Lakers
The Lakers play at the Jazz on Sunday at 5:00 PM ET. They are 2-0, hold the first seed and have won two straight. Carr has not played for them this season, so they are 0-0 with him and 2-0 without him. No season line is available for him. Without him, Austin Reaves has averaged 35.2 minutes and 25.5 points. Luka Doncic has averaged 33.4 minutes and 25.5 points. Walker Kessler has averaged 32.4 minutes and 24.0 points. Quentin Grimes has averaged 29.1 minutes and Ziaire Williams 27.4. Matisse Thybulle has played 23.6 minutes, Sandro Mamukelashvili 22.9 and Jake LaRavia 17.9. Adou Thiero is also out with a left knee issue.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Carr's Oct. 27 return date holds. That date falls after Sunday's game at Utah, so he is not expected to play there. The Lakers have not announced a timeline beyond the date in the report. His status has moved between day-to-day and out more than once, so a further change is possible. Watch Thiero's status as well, since he is also out. The Lakers' next game after the Jazz has not been set in the schedule available here.
