LA Lakers: Team News
As has been their practice since the second game of the season, the LA Lakers have included LeBron James (ankle) in their injury report. That said, the four-time MVP has shown no indication on or off the court that he will miss Monday’s contest.
The same is more than likely true for Kyle Kuzma (heel), who was also listed by the 17-time NBA champions as probable. The fourth-year forward is expected to be ready for the Golden State Warriors game as of this writing.
Jared Dudley (torn MCL) is considering his options for treating his injury, which will keep him out of the LA Lakers lineup for the foreseeable future. His absence is not going to affect coach Frank Vogel’s rotation as much, unless another player gets injured.
Reserve guard Alex Caruso (mild concussion) will be out of the lineup for an extended period. The team issued the following statement regarding his condition:
“Lakers guard Alex Caruso, who left last night’s game vs Indiana in the second quarter with a head contusion, has been diagnosed with a mild concussion. He has been placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol and updates will be provided when appropriate.”
Perhaps the most important player on the team’s injury list, Anthony Davis (Achilles tendinosis, calf strain), will be re-evaluated in two weeks after going through the next level on his road to recovery.
Marc Gasol and Kostas Antetokounmpo (COVID-19) will remain in the league’s health and safety protocols. According to Vogel, the two will miss at least the next two games for the LA Lakers, which includes the Golden State Warriors matchup.
Injured: Alex Caruso, Anthony Davis, Jared Dudley
Doubtful: LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma
Unavailable: Marc Gasol, Kostas Antetokounmpo
Golden State Warriors: Team News
Klay Thompson (Achilles) and Marquese Chriss (lower leg) remain unavailable for the Golden State Warriors after they both underwent surgery that sidelined them for the season.
