Lakers Face Injury Concerns Ahead of Wizards Matchup
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Clippers, with a quick turnaround as they host the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. However, the big question is who will be available for the game.
Anthony Davis has been added to the injury report as questionable due to right calf soreness. This isn’t the first time Davis has dealt with injury issues recently. Last week, he was on the report ahead of the game against the Brooklyn Nets due to plantar fasciitis, a problem dating back to the offseason. Davis sat out that game but returned for the matchup against the Clippers, where he was again listed as questionable for right calf soreness. It’s unclear whether this is a new issue or a flare-up of an existing condition, but it’s certainly something to keep an eye on.
LeBron James is also on the injury report, though listed as probable. James continues to manage a lingering foot injury, but it hasn’t sidelined him much this season, aside from two games earlier on.
Meanwhile, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood, and Jalen Hood-Schifino remain out. There have been no new updates on Wood or Hood-Schifino, but Vanderbilt is reportedly nearing a return to action.
As the Lakers prepare to face the Wizards, they’ll need to manage their roster carefully to navigate these injury challenges.
