What happened: Los Angeles Lakers wing Ziaire Williams will miss his third consecutive game due to left foot injury management on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Williams was downgraded to out for the front end of the team's back-to-back set. The designation comes after he was previously ruled out against the Warriors on Oct. 30.

Why it matters: The Lakers sit at 4-2 through six games in the 2026-27 regular season following a 112-95 loss at Golden State. Williams' absence thins Los Angeles' perimeter rotation as the team navigates consecutive game days without one of its primary wing defenders.

What to watch: The Lakers host Toronto on Sunday before completing their back-to-back set on Monday.
