Injury Report Revealed for Kings vs. Lakers Pacific Division Battle
The Sacramento Kings have roared back after a 2-4 start, sitting at 5-4 on the season after a strong 132-120 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers in G De'Aaron Fox's return game. The Kings hit the road Wednesday, taking on the Los Angeles Lakers for first place in the Pacific Division.
The Lakers (6-5) are on a hot streak, winning their past three games after losing three in a row, as did the Kings. One team will continue a winning streak tonight, while the other will be knocked down to .500 on the year.
Full Kings vs. Lakers Injury Report 11/15
Kings:
F Trey Lyles - OUT (calf)
C Alex Len - OUT (ankle)
Lakers:
F LeBron James - QUESTIONABLE (calf)
F/C Anthony Davis - PROBABLE (hip)
G Jalen Hood-Schifino - OUT (knee)
G Gabe Vincent - OUT (knee)
F Jarred Vanderbilt - OUT (heel)
Kings' Lyles has not appeared in any of the Kings' nine games this year but was cleared to resume basketball activities Wednesday. There is still no timeline for his return, but his return is imminent as he works through his calf injury.
Alex Len suffered a high ankle sprain in Monday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Len hobbled off the court on one foot, and while there is no timetable for his return, a high ankle sprain likely sidelines the 10-year veteran for over a month. C JaVale McGee will pick up more minutes in his absence.
LeBron James may unfortunately be out tonight, as he only played 23 minutes in an In-Season Tournament win against the Memphis Grizzlies Tuesday night. James, who is the oldest player in the NBA, is dealing with a left calf contusion. A back-to-back night might be too high of a risk, though we may see James Wednesday night.
Anthony Davis is notably injury-prone and is dealing with a minor hip injury. It should be nothing to worry about, and we will likely see a Sabonis vs. Davis match-up on Wednesday night.
The Kings take on the Lakers at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET.
