The Los Angeles Lakers, fresh off their championship win in the NBA In-Season Tournament, are gearing up for a rematch against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
However, they might face the game with a potential shortage of key players. Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are listed as questionable for the upcoming Spurs game, according to Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet.
LeBron James sat out the Lakers’ first game of the week against the Spurs due to a calf injury, and he is now listed as questionable for the rematch.
Anthony Davis, on the other hand, had a brief injury scare during the initial Spurs game but managed to return to the lineup. Both players are critical assets for the Lakers, and their availability will significantly impact the team’s performance in the upcoming game.
The Lakers, with a current record of 15-10, are positioned in fifth place in the Western Conference standings. They are in the middle of the pack in a competitive conference and aim to continue their success despite potential challenges posed by injuries to key players.
The rematch against the Spurs, especially with the uncertain status of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, adds an element of intrigue to the Lakers’ upcoming games.
