LaRavia joined the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-year pact over the summer after splitting his 2024-25 campaign between the Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings. He's currently listed as the backup to starter Rui Hachimura at small forward, adding some size and shooting to the second unit alongside Gabe Vincent, Marcus Smart and Jarred Vanderbilt. Last season, LaRavia appeared in 66 games, marking a notable improvement for the 23-year-old following two consecutive years where he managed to suit up for just 35 outings each in 2022-23 and 2023-24. In 20.4 minutes a night, the former first-round pick averaged 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals on 47.5/42.3/67.8 shooting splits. LaRavia should see a similar workload during his debut season in LA, but the Wake Forest product won't offer much value to fantasy managers due to a star-studded roster consisting of LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and Deandre Ayton. He can be left on the waiver wire for now until further notice, but keep an eye on Hachimura, a player who has battled several minor injuries throughout his six professional campaigns.
