Lakers Injury Report: Latest Update on LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ Availability in Clippers Clash

Despite a successful start to the season, winning the maiden NBA cup, the LA team is slowly sinking into deep waters. The Los Angeles Lakers managed to stay afloat in the top 10 spots of the Western Conference table for quite some time despite a string of losses. But unfortunately, they have now dropped down to the 11th seed. Notably, the team has more losses than the Dubs. As the team looks to script a comeback for the remainder of the season, LeBron James & co. have another problem in hand.

Injuries have constantly plagued every team possible in the league. But, the Lakers have been on the receiving end of this affair quite often. The 2022-23 season was a prime example for it. Anthony Davis missed the majority of the season due to an ankle injury and at the same time, James also missed several games, due to injuries.

Injury update: Will LeBron James and Anthony Davis play?

The Lakers’ stint after their In-season Tournament glory hasn’t been a great one. They have managed to win only 2 games out of their last 10 outings. Along with this downside, the latest injury update has also put the LA side in a tough spot.

The latest injury report ahead of their clash against the LA Clippers revealed that both James and Anthony Davis are in a tough spot to step back on the court. Dave McMenamin of ESPN shared the list of injured players and their status ahead of the game.

As a fortunate sign, D’Angelo Russell has been moved to questionables list after he showed improvement in his tailbone contusion injury. At the same time, King James, who played the last game, has also been put under questionables because of his left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. And, Davis has been listed under probables with a left ankle sprain.

Lastly, Rui Hachimura and Gabe Vincent are yet to recover from their injuries and are out for selection for the next outing.

The Lakers lock horns with the lethal Clippers

The local rival, the Clippers have had an entirely different story compared to the Lakers. They have won 8 of their last 10 outings and hold the fourth seed in the West with a 22-12 record.

Many had already written off the side when they lost 6 games in a row after the James Harden trade. But, a small change in their starting line-up has made a massive change in the points table.

A short-handed will have a hard task facing the in-form Clippers on Sunday and odds are in the favor of the Clippers. However, the Lakers fans would pray to the basketball gods to turn things around.
