Dorian Finney-Smith Latest News
Won't go Wednesday

Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Finney-Smith will miss Wednesday's contest due to left ankle soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Feb. 19 against the Hornets. With the 31-year-old forward sidelined, Jarred Vanderbilt and Trey Jemison could see a bump in minutes.
Starting Tuesday

Finney-Smith will start in Tuesday's game against the Clippers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. The veteran forward will receive the starting nod for the third time as a member of the Lakers, adding a bit more size to the starting five with Anthony Davis (abdomen) having been traded to Dallas in exchange for Luka Doncic (calf) on Saturday. Over his last five outings (two starts), Finney-Smith has averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.0 steals across 24.8 minutes per contest. He has also shot 54.5 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from downtown in that five-game span.
Available for Tuesday

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Clippers. Finney-Smith has been upgraded to available after having been listed as questionable due to a right shoulder contusion. Over his last five outings (two starts), the 31-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 24.8 minutes per game.
Questionable against Clippers

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. Finney-Smith is at risk of sitting out Tuesday due to a right shoulder contusion, and the Lakers will likely wait until closer to tipoff to update his status. If the veteran forward cannot play, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht would be slated for additional minutes now that Max Christie is out of the mix.
Green light to play Saturday

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is available to play Saturday against the Knicks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Finney-Smith did not play in the Lakers' 134-96 win over the Wizards on Thursday due to a right shoulder injury he suffered against the 76ers on Tuesday. However, he's progressed enough in his recovery to play on Saturday. Finney-Smith is averaging 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds over 23.2 minutes per game with the Lakers.
Upgraded to probable

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is now listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Knicks. Finney-Smith has been upgraded from questionable to probable Saturday after missing the Lakers' previous outing due to a right shoulder contusion. If the veteran forward is further upgraded to available, he will likely operate as one of the team's primary bench options in their forward rotation.
Questionable for Saturday

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Finney-Smith is in danger of missing consecutive outings Saturday due to a right shoulder contusion. If the veteran forward is unable to suit up for the Lakers, Shake Milton and Dalton Knecht would be options to handle expanded roles in Los Angeles' rotation.
Won't play against Washington

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game versus the Wizards, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports. Finney-Smith has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to a right shoulder contusion. Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and Jarred Vanderbilt are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Finney-Smith's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.
Dealing with shoulder contusion

Finney-Smith is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a right shoulder contusion, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. After making two straight starts, Finney-Smith reverted to a reserve role against the 76ers on Tuesday due to the return of Rui Hachimura (calf). However, Anthony Davis (core) suffered an injury during that contest and will miss at least a week. Finney-Smith started the second half of Tuesday's loss and will likely see increased run during Davis' absence. However, Finney-Smith has averaged only 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 23.2 minutes per game across 12 appearances (two starts) for the Lakers thus far.
