So how many of your Los Angeles Lakers' star players will actually suit up for their regular season finale against the Utah Jazz today at 12:30 p.m. PT on ESPN?

Per Mike Trudell of Lakers.com, Lakers head coach Davin Ham recently expressed confidence that every Lakers player will be available to suit up against the Jazz, aside from reserve point guard Dennis Schröder. 

A neck issue kept Schröder sidelined for Friday's 121-107 win over the Phoenix Suns, but the current ailment listed for him is a sore right Achilles, never a problem with which to trifle. Accordingly, he will sit out today, Trudell reports.

According to the latest NBA injury report, All-Star small forward LeBron James (sore right foot) and possible All-Defensive Team center Anthony Davis (right foot stress injury recovery) are both officially questionable to suit up today against Utah, while starting point guard D'Angelo Russell is probable to play through his sore left foot.

The now-tanking 37-44 Utah Jazz, however, are taking no chances, and to that end will be sitting six of their best players in a blatant effort to lose the game and jockey for better lottery odds in what could be a loaded 2023 NBA draft.
