Quentin Grimes says he plans to play Sunday when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Phoenix Suns, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reported Friday, as carried by Eli Cohen of Hoops Rumors. Grimes has missed the Lakers’ last two games with an injury to a finger on his right hand.
The injury is a sprained right pinkie, on his shooting hand, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, who reported that Grimes taped the finger and took part in the live portion of Friday’s practice. “The swelling has gone down a lot,” Grimes said, per McMenamin. “It’s kind of feeling basically back to normal.”
The Lakers have not issued a designation for Sunday. JJ Redick said Friday that the team’s injury report is due Saturday at 5 p.m., and that is where Grimes’ official status will first appear. Austin Reaves, who has a bruised left heel, is day-to-day for the same game.
SES has been tracking Grimes’ finger since he was ruled out in Milwaukee. The full record, including Friday’s practice update, is in the Quentin Grimes finger-injury tracker.
