The Lakers have officially ruled out forward Dorian Finney-Smith for tonight's match against the Miami Heat. 

Finney-Smith is out for personal reasons, and we found out earlier Wednesday that it is due to the birth of his baby boy. 

Finney-Smith will miss his first game as a Laker in the must-win matchup for L.A.
