What happened: The Los Angeles Lakers have ruled Quentin Grimes out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a right finger sprain. Grimes was downgraded to out ahead of the matchup.

Why it matters: The absence thins the backcourt depth for Los Angeles as the team prepares for the road matchup. The Lakers will need to adjust their perimeter rotation with Quentin Grimes sidelined.

What to watch: The Lakers and Bucks tip off Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET. Los Angeles will look to manage its rotation until Grimes is cleared to return.
