Lakers Injury Report: LA May Face Raptors Without LeBron James, Anthony Davis
Coming off of a big 106-103 win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, your Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the Toronto Raptors at home on Tuesday night.
As an 18-19 LA club looks to return to .500 on the year, it may be doing so without its best two players.
Toronto hasn’t been great on the season, sitting at 15-21 with major question marks surrounding their rotation, roles, and playing time.
That said, they made a blockbuster move in trading for Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett from the New York Knicks, positioning themselves as a younger, more exciting, and more explosive team.
Since the acquisition, the Raptors are 3-1 with their sole loss being against a good Sacramento Kings team by a score of 135-130, indicating their newfound offensive explosiveness.
For the Lakers, they’d ideally boast a health availability edge over the new-look Raptors, but a recent NBA injury report suggests otherwise.
Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis popped up on the injury report, with Davis being marked as probable with a left ankle sprain/bruise, while LeBron is questionable with peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle.
The impact both stars have on both ends of the floor has been compensating for poor performances from much of the remaining roster, making their health a top issue.
That said, James and Davis have been playing through an array of different injuries, however, making it likely that the two superstars suit up in the team’s effort to return to .500, as they’ve been skidding for the past coupl e of weeks.
