Lakers moved Dennis Schroder into the starting five tonight vs. Warriors in place of Jarred Vanderbilt. Schroder joins D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, LeBron James and Anthony Davis as starters.

Davis left in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's Game 5 matchup after being struck in the head by Golden State's Kevon Looney while battling for a rebound. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported Davis felt "woozy" after the hit, and he did not return to the game after being taken to the locker room.
