Injury report

Los Angeles Lakers

Nobody listed.

Utah Jazz

Trey AlexanderProbable· back Oct 4
Report note
Alexander was taken off the court on a stretcher in Monday's 80-63 win over the Bulls due to a left rib contusion, and Utah is taking a cautious approach in its Summer League finale. The two-way player has plenty of time to recuperate ahead of training camp in the fall.
