Lakers Injury Report: 3 All-Stars May Miss Cavaliers-LA Meeting
Your 9-7 Los Angeles Lakers could be missing several starters, and absolutely will be missing several role players, in tonight's impending matchup against the 8-7 Cleveland Cavaliers.
That said, several Cavs players are slated to be on the shelf, too.
Most worryingly for fans, three All-Stars might not be on the floor.
Per the NBA's latest injury report, Lakers center Anthony Davis (left adductor/hip spasm) and forward LeBron James (left calf contusion), plus Cleveland guard Donovan Mitchell (right hamstring strain) may all miss out tonight. Davis is probable to play, while James and Mitchell are merely questionable.
As the Lakers faithful know already, power forwards Rui Hachimura (nasal fracture recovery) and Jarred Vanderbilt (left heel bursitis) and reserve point guard Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion) remain sidelined indefinitely.
After missing Wednesday's 104-101 loss to the Dallas Mavericks with a sore left adductor, starting Los Angeles shooting guard Cam Reddish has been upgraded to questionable.
On the Cleveland side, point guard Ty Jerome (right ankle sprain), forward Dean Wade (right ankle sprain) and reserve point guard Ricky Rubio are out. Rubio is dealing with some mental health issues and may not return. Shooting guard Isaac Okoro (left knee injury management) is merely questionable.
