Lakers vs. Warriors Updated Game 6 Injury Report /

In this story:

The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are set to face off in a massive Game 6 on Friday night. If the Lakers win, they will advance to face the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. If the Warriors win, they will force a Game 7 at home on Sunday.

The injury report is one to follow in this game, and the most updated version as of 5:00 PM PST (two hours before tip-off) looks like this:

Warriors: Andrew Wiggins - QUESTIONABLE (Left Costal Cartilage; Fracture), Ryan Rollins - OUT (Right Foot; Surgery), Andre Iguodala - OUT (Left Wrist; Surgery), Patrick Baldwin Jr. - QUESTIONABLE (Left Toe; Soreness)

Lakers: LeBron James - PROBABLE (Right Foot; Soreness), Anthony Davis - PROBABLE (Right Foot; Stress Injury), Mo Bamba - QUESTIONABLE (Left Ankle; Soreness)

The status of Andrew Wiggins will be the one to follow most closely, as he is expected to give it a go on Friday night, despite being in pain with his left costal cartilage fracture. Davis and James are both expected to play, as the injury scare with Davis and his head has fortunately diminished.

Needless to say, this is a massive Game 6. The Lakers once led 3-1, and will look to finish the Warriors off at home without having to head back too San Francisco for a deciding Game 7.
