What happened: Quentin Grimes indicated he expects to be available to play Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. The guard participated in a stay-ready session following a right finger sprain that sidelined him Wednesday against Milwaukee.
Why it matters: His return restores wing depth for Los Angeles, which sits atop the Western Conference standings at 11-2. The rotation gets a perimeter defender back as the team looks to sustain a seven-game winning streak.
By the numbers: Grimes has recorded 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in 2026-27 through 11 games. Los Angeles is 11-2 in 2026-27 through 13 games.
What to watch: Los Angeles visits Phoenix on Sunday. The team will submit official injury designations prior to tipoff.
