According to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register, Los Angeles Lakers forward/center
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Finney-Smith has been dealing with an ankle injury despite starting nine last 11 games for the Lakers.
Rui Hachimura (knee),
LeBron James (groin),
Luka Doncic (ankle), and
Austin Reaves (ankle) are all out, while
Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) is also listed as doubtful, leaving them very shorthanded.
Gabe Vincent Dalton Knecht,
Jordan Goodwin and
Shake Milton could have heavy workloads during tonight's contest, especially if Finney-Smith cannot play.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been listed as available for Monday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Initially, the team listed him as probable for the action. A small question mark hung over Finney-Smith after he logged 36 minutes in Sunday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns. The Lakers are currently battling injuries in the frontcourt, giving Finney-Smith a chance to show his worth. The veteran contributed across the board in Sunday's 107-96 win, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, three assists, one block, and one steal.

Los Angeles Lakers forward
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran is suffering from an ankle injury and will exit the lineup after playing 30 minutes in Thursday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jarred Vanderbilt and
Dalton Knecht are in a prime position to benefit from Finney-Smith's absence on Friday. Both players have been confirmed as starters for the contest.

Los Angeles Lakers forward
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be active on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed the last game before the All-Star break due to ankle soreness. Finney-Smith has been a solid addition to the Lakers rotation, but his fantasy stock has significantly dropped since his move to Los Angeles. The 31-year-old has been limited to 6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.2 minutes with his new squad. On Wednesday, Finney-Smith may have a larger role in the proceedings if
LeBron James (foot) cannot play. The Lakers have listed James as questionable for the matchup.
