Lakers guard Cameron Carr has been cleared on the injury report after being listed as out. He is available for Tuesday's home game against the Trail Blazers, but his role has not been announced.
What happened
The injury report cleared Cameron Carr at 1:37 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Oct. 27. The 21-year-old guard had been listed as out. The latest entry gives no injury detail and no comment. He has gone back and forth between out and day-to-day this month with a right oblique issue. He was listed as out on Oct. 20. On Oct. 22 he moved to day-to-day and then back to out, and the same thing happened on Oct. 24. His first listing came on Oct. 8, when he was day-to-day with an undisclosed issue.
What it means for the Lakers
The Lakers host the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 11:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. They are 3-0, the fourth seed, on a three-game win streak. Carr has not played yet this season, so the Lakers are 0-0 with him and 3-0 without him. He has no season line yet. Austin Reaves has carried the backcourt at 35.4 minutes and 26.7 points, and Luka Doncic at 35.1 minutes and 34.3 points. Quentin Grimes is averaging 26.1 minutes, Matisse Thybulle 24.4 and Collin Sexton 18.1. Any minutes Carr gets will likely come out of that group. Adou Thiero remains out with a left knee issue.
What to watch
Watch the next injury report before Tuesday's game against Portland. Being cleared means Carr is available. Whether he plays, and for how long, has not been announced. The bigger question is the rotation. The Lakers have won three straight with an eight-man group led by Doncic and Reaves. Watch whether Carr gets first-half minutes or sits behind Sexton and Grimes. Thiero's status on the same report is the other Lakers injury to follow.
