Walker Kessler is listed as available for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Milwaukee Bucks on Nov. 11 with a left finger splint. He is one of two Lakers on the report, alongside Quentin Grimes, who has been ruled out with a right finger sprain for a second straight game.
The designation itself has not moved — available is where he was for the Nov. 8 game against Detroit — but he remains on the report rather than off it, and the splint is the reason the Lakers list. Multiple outlets reported the same designation.
Kessler played through it in Monday’s win over Atlanta, and he has said the hand is not a settled matter, as covered in SES’s piece on Kessler saying the injury still affects his rebounding. Neither the Lakers nor Kessler has put a date on when the finger comes off the report.
Tipoff at Fiserv Forum is 5 p.m. Pacific. Designations as of Nov. 11.
