Luka Doncic subs out for Bronny James after Luka was holding his ankle after getting fouled on a long two. Just wrap everyone up in bubble wrap and get us all home at this point.

Austin Reaves needs to sub himself out. He stumbled toward the bench and turned straight back to the tunnel. Lakers up 77-60, 5:20 3Q.

Lakers downgrade Quentin Grimes to OUT tonight with a finger sprain
Quentin Grimes is questionable for tomorrow's game in Milwaukee. He's the only player on the Lakers injury report so Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves will be available.

Cameron Carr said he’s going to ask everyone to sign the game ball from Monday’s game when he scored his first NBA points and keep it in a case. On Luka Doncic chasing it down for him: “That’s big time, especially coming from him. That says a lot about who he is as a person.”

Someone please advise about my pizza question!
Come for an in-depth look at the surprising fourth starter situation — stay for “biting into a pizza pillow.” No one does it like @thucnhi21.
