Lakers Injury Report: Top 3 Scorers Downgraded For Suns Game /

After a four-game winning streak, your Los Angeles Lakers could be on the cusp of a two-game losing streak, following some disparaging injury news.

Per Mark Medina of USA Today, Los Angeles stars Anthony Davis and LeBron James have seen their statuses downgraded to merely questionable to suit up tomorrow against the ascendant Phoenix Suns. Meanwhile starting Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell is considered probable to play.

Last night against the Los Angeles Clippers, the statuses of all three were shaky, but that triumvirate ultimately did don the purple and gold. Davis was hampered by constant double-teams, but did finish with a 17-point, 11-rebound night. 

In 35:06 of action, playing on the second night of back-to-back for some reason, the 38-year-old James scored 33 points on 13-of-20 shooting splits, grabbed eight boards, dished out seven dimes, and pitched in a steal and a block. He was LA's only starter to register a negative plus-minus, at a -10.

Russell had a more modest night, scoring 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting from the field, passing for seven dishes, and grabbing three boards to boot.
