UPDATE: Los Angeles Lakers Injury Report For Game 3

The Los Angeles Lakers have announced their injury report for Game 3.

UPDATE: Anthony Davis and LeBron James are both available. 

On Saturday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Denver Nuggets at Crypto.com Arena for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

For the game, they have announced their injury report (with no changes from the last game). 

Backup center Mo Bamba remains ruled out due to an ankle injury, while superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis are both listed as probable.

James and Davis have been probable for every game of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, but neither player has missed a game.

The Lakers enter the night in an 0-2 hole after losing both Games 1 and 2 on the road in Denver. 

In Game 2, they lost by a score of 108-103 after having a lead going into the fourth quarter. 

They allowed star point guard Jamal Murray to erupt for 23 points in the final period (and the Nuggets won the last 12 minutes by a score of 32-24). 

The Lakers are still in a good position because they have gone 7-0 at home during the Playoffs (and play-in tournament). 

With Games 3 and 4 both in Los Angeles, the series could very easily be 2-2 before the teams go back to Denver for Game 5 on Wednesday night. 

In the first two rounds, the Lakers (who are the seventh seed in the west) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors. 

The winner of the series will advance to the 2023 NBA Finals and face off against either the Boston Celtics or the Miami Heat.
