Finney-Smith is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a right shoulder contusion, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. After making two straight starts, Finney-Smith reverted to a reserve role against the 76ers on Tuesday due to the return of Rui Hachimura (calf).

The Lakers' decision to acquire Dorian Finney-Smith well before the trade deadline has gone over well with players impressed by his game-changing energy.

Lakers big man Anthony Davis will be out for at least a week after being diagnosed with an abdominal muscle strain. He is set to miss the remaining three games of the Lakers' road trip.
