NBA Injury Report: Latest Update on Lebron James and Anthony Davis for Tonight’s Lakers vs Raptors Game

After consecutive losses against the Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies, the Los Angeles Lakers secured a narrow victory over the Los Angeles Clippers as they won the game 106-103. LeBron James added 25 points and 7 assists as he was able to keep at bay the side consisting of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden. Anthony Davis too chipped in 22 points and 10 rebounds.

After surprising the Clippers, they would love to build on the victory as they face the Toronto Raptors next. But will Anthony Davis and the 39-year-old veteran of the Lakers LeBron James play against the Raptors?

LeBron James and Anthony Davis may be available

As reported by ESPN, LeBron James is on the injury report of the Lakers again. He has been listed as questionable because of left ankle tendinopathy. Anthony Davis is also probable for the game due to an ankle sprain/ bone bruise. Rui Hachimura is doubtful due to a left calf sprain. He was injured in the game against the New Orleans Pelicans and played for 8 minutes only. Subsequently, he was benched for the succeeding three games.

Gabe Vincent is out for the game after he underwent a successful arthroscopic surgical procedure. After the surgery was reported on Wednesday, he will be re-evaluated in eight weeks. Earlier the injuries weighed heavy in the ranks of the Lakers, but D’Angelo Rusell’s return eased the concerns. He returned after suffering from a tailbone contusion and added 13 points, 6 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in his 31-minute play against the Clippers. While the situation does not look too grim for the Lakers side, the Raptors have their issues with the injuries as well.
