Lakers Injury Report: 3 LA Starters Downgraded Prior To Portland Game

L.A. may be without three key starters.

The Los Angeles Lakers will once again look to move back to .500 with a victory against the lowly Portland Trail Blazers. It's not hyperbole to consider this game a must-win, especially after how Friday's contest went. 

However, the Lakers may need to trout out there without three key starters. According to the team and The Athletic's Jovan Buha, superstars Anthony Davis, LeBron James and forward Taurean Prince are listed as questionable for tonight's contest.

Davis is questionable due to a bilateral Achilles tendinopathy. James is also listed as questionable due to a left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, and Prince is dealing with left knee soreness. 

The purple and gold have struggled mightily with James and Davis in the lineup. Without them, they wouldn't stand a chance. 

The Lakers will need all they can get from their superstar duo and Prince. Tip-off is set at 7 p.m. PT. from Crypto.com Arena.
