Lakers Release Injury Updates on Anthony Davis and Alex Caruso For Wednesday’s Game vs Thunder

Alex Caruso and Anthony Davis didn’t join the Los Angeles Lakers in Monday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. LA was shorthanded in the overtime win over the team. Davis’ absence was felt, but it was a big W for the Lakers. The teams will meet again Wednesday, and we have the final injury report for the team. The Lakers provided injury updates for the game against the Thunder.

According to recent reports, the Lakers may play without both players again.

Kostas Antetokounmpo and Jared Dudley are still out. Antetokounmpo is dealing with right knee tendinitis. Dudley is treating his sore right calf. Caruso is soothing his right hand and Davis has received treatment for his right Achilles tendinosis. The Lakers listed LeBron James as probably for the game. He was dealing with a left ankle sprain but has yet to miss a game.

Lakers had similar injury updates for the game vs Thunder

NBA fans have some questions about Davis. His durability is pretty concerning. The Lakers big man has already missed a few games. He is playing through pain and this current Achilles condition came like a real shock to experts. Davis needed plenty of time to recover and this affected his performance on the floor.

Caruso’s injury is also a problem. Prior to sustaining his injury, the talented player had an excellent 3-point shooting. Before the 2020-21 NBA season, he was an inconsistent outside shooter.

Los Angeles saw some struggles in the game against Oklahoma. Having both players on the floor would definitely cut the playing time. They had to force overtime, but it wasn’t a problem. LA took control early and sealed the win.

LeBron’s triple-double helped the Lakers win the game. His leadership helped the team win. He got enough help from backup big man Montrezl Harrell. Lakers players are slowly building great chemistry and we can only imagine their success later in the season.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel is not worried about his team, and he believes that players won’t have a problem winning the rematch. Let’s see how will things go for the Lakers on Wednesday night.
