Lakers Injury Report: 3 LA Players Downgraded Ahead Of Game 4
Three of your Los Angeles Lakers' five most important ball handlers saw their statuses downgraded ahead of the fourth contest in their ongoing best-of-seven series against the Memphis Grizzlies tonight in Crypto.com Arena.
Per the league's latest injury report, All-Star small forward LeBron James (right foot soreness), center Anthony Davis (right foot stress injury) and reserve point guard Dennis Schröder (right Achilles soreness) are all probable to suit up for the Lakers tonight, as they have been throughout the series.
Ultimately, it seems highly like that all three of this trio will be made available for Los Angeles at home tonight. It's just a bit distressing that their lingering injuries are at least notable enough that LA feels compelled to mention them in the NBA's official injury report.
For the Grizzlies, the three usual frontcourt suspects remain out. Starting Memphis center Steven Adams and backup big Brandon Clarke are done for the year with a right knee PCL sprain and a left Achilles tear, respectively, while rookie combo forward Jake LaRavia will miss another game with a sore right calf. Though LaRavia has yet to be definitively ruled out from the series, he wouldn't exactly be expected to be a major contributor at this early point in his career even if he was healthy.
