The Los Angeles Lakers have been in all sorts of trouble since their NBA Cup glory. In their last 10 outings, LeBron James & co. managed to win only 2 games and dropped to the 11th seed below the Golden State Warriors. With these implications, they take on the in-form LA Clippers tonight. However, hours before the game, King James and Anthony Davis found a major help, as the latest injury report turned out to be a boon for the Lakers Nation.

Compared to the last season, the LA side is in a comfortable position. In the last season, AD missed a major chunk of games because of his ankle injury, and James also missed a considerable amount of games. Despite that, the team went on to reach the Conference Finals. Similarly, this team could turn around things in no time. Before that, let’s find out the positive news.

The LA Clippers have had an impressive season so far, starting with a poor run. Ever since HC Tyronn Lue fine-tuned the starting line-up of the side, they haven’t looked back. James Harden & Co. have won 8 out of their last 10 outings.

Facing the in-form Clippers would be the last thing that the Lakers wanted, considering the poor run and piling injuries. Nevertheless, the team is all set to take on the #4 seed, but hours before the tip-off, the Lakers have positive news.

The previous injury report had listed D’Angelo Russell in questionable status because of his tailbone contusion injury, along with LeBron James. But, the latest report by Tomer Azarly revealed that D’Lo will take the court against the lethal Clippers’ attack.

 

Russell missed his last three games and has had a quiet season so far without any explosion. The team would require a good shooter alongside James and Anthony Davis‘ dominance.
