Hood-Schifino was assigned to the Lakers' South Bay G League affiliate Sunday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports. Hood-Schifino will join South Bay ahead of the Lakers' five-game road trip. Hood-Schifino has been dealing with an illness of late, but he seems ready to participate in game action for the G League club.
Hood-Schifino (illness) is out for Saturday's game versus the Kings. Hood-Schifino will miss his second straight contest while dealing with an illness. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Phoenix.
Hood-Schifino (illness) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game versus the Suns. Hood-Schifino's absence won't affect the Lakers' rotation, as he didn't see any playing time during Tuesday's season-opening win over Minnesota. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Sacramento.
Hood-Schifino is doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Suns due to an illness, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. The severity of Hood-Schifino's illness is unclear, though the doubftul tag does not bode well for his chance to see the floor. The 21-year-old is buried in the Lakers' backcourt, and he likely won't be a viable option in fantasy formats.
Hood-Schifino will start at guard in Friday's exhibition matchup with the Warriors on Friday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Hood-Schifino will start alongside Bronny James in the Lakers' backcourt. Los Angeles is opting to rest all of its expected starters, meaning Hood-Schifino figures to see a healthy workload.
General manager Rob Pelinka said Wednesday that Hood-Schifino (back) is medically cleared for training camp, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Hood-Schifino had an injury-riddled rookie campaign and underwent a lumbar microdiscectomy surgery in March to repair a bulging disc in his back. He missed the 2024 Las Vegas Summer League but is back to full strength ahead of the regular season. Hood-Schifino will compete with Gabe Vincent, Bronny James and Max Christie for backup backcourt minutes behind D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves this season.
The Lakers announced Tuesday that Hood-Schifino (back) isn't on the team's Summer League roster, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Hood-Schifino underwent a lumbar microdiscectomy surgery in March to repair a bulging disc in his back and appears to still be recovering. While the second-year guard isn't expected to play in the Summer League, it is unclear if he will be healthy to begin the 2024-25 regular season.
Los Angeles recalled Hood-Schifino from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday. Hood-Schifino joins the Lakers in advance of Sunday's game against Minnesota. He is averaging 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists on 22.2 percent shooting across 109 total minutes in 21 appearances this season.
Los Angeles recalled Hood-Schifino from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Friday. Hood-Schifino and Maxwell Lewis continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League.
