LaRavia (ankle) will play in Monday's Summer League Championship Game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
LaRavia was held out of Sunday's semifinal due to an ankle sprain, but he's since been given the green light to suit up for Monday's clash. He'll aim to bounce back following a quiet showing Thursday against the Pelicans, when he finished with two points and one assist in eight minutes before exiting with the injury.
LaRavia (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League semifinal matchup against the Clippers, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
LaRavia is dealing with a minor ankle sprain but will likely miss the remainder of Summer League, along with rookies Zach Edey (ankle) and Cam Spencer (ankle). LaRavia, a 2022 first-round pick, has appeared in 70 regular-season games (six starts) over the last two seasons but needs to earn a roster spot during training camp.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Won't return Thursday
Rotowire
LaRavia will not return to Thursday's Summer League game due to knee soreness, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
It's not all that common for a third-year player to suit up for Summer League in Las Vegas, so it's not surprising to see LaRavia hit the sidelines with a minor injury. He's fine, but don't be surprised if he sits out Memphis' next exhibition as well.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
LaRavia has been ruled out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Thunder due to minor ankle soreness, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
LaRavia is entering his third NBA season, so it's a bit surprising that he's played in any Summer League games. His ankle is fine, but he'll likely be deployed sparsely during these summer exhibition contests.
LaRavia registered 28 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.
LaRavia played 43 minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies, marking the highest total of his career. He's played at least 40 minutes in back-to-back contests and has averaged 30.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals over that span. LaRavia's opportunities have come as the team has been decimated by injuries, but he's performing at a level that could help him solidify a significant role in Memphis' rotation next season.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Career-high 32 points vs. Cavs
Rotowire
LaRavia notched 32 points (10-18 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Cavaliers.
LaRavia missed the Grizzlies' last two games due to left ankle soreness, but he returned Wednesday in style. With Memphis fielding just eight players, LaRavia got his fourth start of the season and finished with 32 points over 40 minutes. He was also responsible for eight of the team's 14 three-point makes. With so many Memphis players dealing with injuries, LaRavia figures to see extended playing time for the last two games of the regular season.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Available for Wednesday
Rotowire
LaRavia (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cavs.
LaRavia is back after a two-game stint on the sidelines, and he should get all the run he can handle as Memphis goes into Wednesday's game with just eight active players. He's a reasonable target in daily fantasy leagues.

Rotowire

LaRavia has missed the past two games for Memphis, but he remains day-to-day. The Grizzlies dressed just eight players Tuesday against the Spurs, and it appears that they will be very shorthanded once again.

Rotowire
LaRavia (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
LaRavia was carrying a doubtful tag before the Grizzlies ultimately decided to hold him out alongside Lamar Stevens (groin). The Grizzlies are likely to be very shorthanded for the remainder of the regular season and could spread the minutes around to evaluate some new additions to the roster.

Rotowire
LaRavia (ankle) won't play against the 76ers on Saturday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
LaRavia had been carrying a doubtful tag into Saturday, so his absence comes as little surprise. The second-year player had appeared in each of Memphis' last 21 games, averaging 11.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 26.9 minutes.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Catches fire in fourth quarter
Rotowire
LaRavia accumulated 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers.
His efforts weren't enough to bring Memphis back against a suddenly hot Lakers squad, but LaRavia at least helped keep the Grizzlies from being completely blown out with 14 of his 25 points in the fourth period. Overall, the second-year forward scored all but four of his points from beyond the arc, and his seven three-pointers more than doubled his previous career-best mark of three. LaRavia is usually good for a triple or two per contest, so there's little reason to expect this type of output from deep consistently, though he has held some low-end fantasy value of late with averages of 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals through 14 games in March.
