Your Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to make amends for a disappointing Game 2 showing in their ongoing first round series against the higher-seeded Memphis Grizzlies tonight, as the action relocates to Crypto.com Arena.

When they do, it appears the three Lakers who have been considered "probable" before ultimately playing in this series' first two bouts are following that playbook again today, per the league's latest injury report.

All-Star small forward LeBron James continues to deal with what is listed as a sore right foot, center Anthony Davis is still managing his right foot stress injury, and reserve point guard Dennis Schröder is still dealing with a sore right Achilles.

For Memphis, starting center Steven Adams (right knee PCL sprain) and reserve power forward/center Brandon Clarke (torn left Achilles) are done for the year, and rookie combo forward Jake LaRavia will have to wait till at least Game 4 to return from his sore right calf.

Perhaps most imperatively Grizzlies All-Star point guard Ja Morant remains merely questionable to play through his re-aggravated right hand bruise today. Morant's availability through these two Los Angeles home games could potentially make or break this series for Memphis. If he misses a second straight game with the ailment, Los Angeles must do a better job capitalizing than it did Wednesday.
