In this story:

The final injury report is out, and both the Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic are shorthanded for Saturday's battle.

You can read about the full Lakers injury report by clicking here, as five key LA players have been ruled out.

On the Orlando side of things, though, we were waiting on the status of starting point guard Markelle Fultz, who was considered questionable.

Fultz, however, has officially been ruled out, and Anthony Black will start in his place.

This is a huge loss for Orlando, as Fultz was averaging 11.0 points, 4.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game in 28.8 minutes.

Against the Lakers last week, Fultz had 14 points and eight assists to go along with one steal and two blocks.

However, he'll be on the sideline on Saturday,joining a laundry list of players on both sides who will miss the contest.

Tip-off for Saturday's game is 4:00 p.m. PT.
