Lakers Injury Report: 3 Key LA Vets Downgraded Ahead Of Game 2 Vs Grizzlies

Has the injury bug hit Los Angeles?

The Memphis Grizzlies' injury sheet remains impressively patchy. Starting center Steven Adams (right knee PCL sprain), reserve power forward/center Brandon Clarke (left Achilles tear) and rookie combo forward Jake LaRavia (right calf soreness) are all doomed to miss tonight's game against your Los Angeles Lakers, something of a must-win for the Grizzlies, who are still at home and trailing 1-0 in their first round series with LA. 

All-Star Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant remains questionable with a sore right hand after aggravating a prior bone bruise injury. Accordingly, Los Angeles is preparing game plans for whether Morant plays or not.

Per the NBA's latest injury report, star center Anthony Davis -- who was handily the most important player on the floor against the Grizzlies in the first game -- All-Star small forward LeBron James, and reserve point guard Dennis Schröder are all considered merely "probable" to play, as has been the case for the past several weeks. 

All three had also been listed as probable to suit up ahead of Sunday, but all three ultimately played. Davis and James each nabbed 20+ point double-doubles and stepped up defensively. Schröder had a quiet night, scoring just seven points on 2-of-5 shooting.

The Lakers, for their part, are looking to capitalize on a surprise 128-112 road victory over the Grizzlies on Sunday. The action tips off tonight at 4:30 p.m. PT on TNT.
