Los Angeles Lakers Injury Report vs. Bucks

According to their official injury report against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles Lakers have two players dealing with injuries.

Quentin Grimes is listed as questionable while Walker Kessler is tagged available.

Walker Kessler, Los Angeles Lakers — Walker Kessler #14 of the Los Angeles Lakers dribbles upcourt during the second half of a game against the LA Clippers at Intuit Dome on October 28, 2026 in Inglewood, California.

Kessler, on the other hand, has been nursing a sprained left finger since the preseason. He continues to wear a splint on his injured finger. He has yet to miss a game for the Lakers this season.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick doesn’t anticipate Grimes missing a lot of time because of his injury. Grimes could get cleared to play before tip-off. He could also get downgraded to out depending on his pregame evaluation.

If Grimes misses his second straight game, Colin Sexton is expected to get more minutes. Sexton stepped up in the win against the Hawks. He finished with 18 points and 6 assists on 6-for-11 shooting off the bench.

The Los Angeles Lakers are currently sitting atop the Western Conference standings with a record of 10-2. They are on a six-game winning streak, coming off back-to-back wins against the Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks.

Austin Reaves has cut down his turnovers that plagued him early in the season. He’s playing like the best second option in the NBA today, while Walker Kessler has fit perfectly with the Lakers and has been a walking double-double.
