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.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
LaRavia (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
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.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Ruled out for Tuesday
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.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Out against 76ers
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.

Rotowire
LaRavia (illness) has been cleared to play Monday night against the Nuggets.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
LaRavia is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness.
LaRavia continues to deal with an illness that caused him to be a late addition to the injury report ahead of Friday's game. He was able to play 28 minutes Friday, however, which bodes well for his chances Monday. The Grizzlies already find themselves extremely shorthanded, so LaRavia's absence would be significant for the rotation.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Available Friday
Rotowire
LaRavia (illness) is good to go for Friday's game in San Antonio.
LaRavia was a late addition to the Grizzlies' injury report, but it looks like the team was just exercising caution at the time. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at forward, assuming he avoids any setbacks. The 22-year-old has averaged 11.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 triples across 30.0 minutes over his previous five games.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
LaRavia is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.
LaRavia wasn't on the Grizzlies' initial injury report, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up due to his illness. If he's sidelined, his absence would leave the Grizzlies incredibly shorthanded, as the team already had a lengthy injury report before LaRavia was added.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Back to bench
Rotowire
LaRavia will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards.
Memphis' lineups continue to be all over the place, but LaRavia is likely to maintain a decent role with the amount of injuries on the roster. In his last outing Sunday versus the Thunder, LaRavia had 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

After a very shaky start to the season, LaRavia seems to have finally found some confidence. Over his last four games, the forward has compiled averages of 15.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Set to start Sunday
Rotowire
LaRavia will start Sunday's game at Oklahoma City.
The Grizzlies' injury report is nearing record levels Sunday, so they'll roll out a starting five of LaRavia, GG Jackson, Luke Kennard, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson. It will be the first career NBA start for LaRavia, whom the Grizzlies selected in the first round in 2022.

Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Double-double off bench in Philly
Rotowire
LaRavia notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and three blocks in 32 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 115-109 win over Philadelphia.
The second-year forward delivered his second straight double-double, which are the only two of LaRavia's career. He's taken on a large role in the Grizzlies' rotation since the All-Star break, averaging 23.6 minutes over the last seven games, and he's turned that court time into 11.1 points, 5.9 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals a contest. The holes in LaRavia's game are apparent. He's shooting 36.9 percent from the floor and 25.9 percent (7-for-27) from beyond the arc during that time, but Memphis' injury woes this season have left them with little choice but to try to accelerate the development of the 2022 first-round pick.
