Lakers Release Loaded Injury Report for Huge Matchup vs. Suns in Phoenix

The Los Angeles Lakers are playing against the Phoenix Suns but Frank Vogel’s team is dealing with a big problem at the moment. Anthony Davis is still out and the Lakers may be without their leader as well. The team listed LeBron James as questionable for the game. This is a big blow for the team and things can easily go down the hill.

Lakers players will travel to Arizona to meet their opponents. Will LeBron travel with the team? He is dealing with knee soreness and the situation may escalate overnight. Malik Monk deals with right shoulder soreness and he will probably suit up for the game.

Lakers to be without several players vs Suns

Talen Horton-Tucker may sit out this game due to a sprained ankle. He was one of the better players on the Lakers roster, but the team didn’t get the best of him this season. THT is not as consistent as he used to be. The team was advised to trade THT in the offseason but the Lakers really wanted to keep him on the roster. He is a great player despite his struggles.

LeBron’s injury is the biggest issue at the moment. He’s been dealing with this issue for a really long time. The four-time NBA champion even missed games due to his injury. He played through his discomfort in the last two games but Vogel can’t take this risk anymore. LeBron has to be careful, otherwise the team will lose every hope to make the playoffs and even win a ring.

LeBron delivered strong performance in the win over the Washington Wizards. He scored 50-points and it was a big warning for his opponents. LeBron had another 50-point performance in the win over the Golden State Warriors. It was a great milestone for the superstar. Players over 35 don’t really hit 50+ points. LeBron is the only player to accomplish this.

The Lakers can’t lose LeBron at this point. Players rely on him and his leadership. Russell Westbrook struggles too much and he can’t really take the leading role in the team.
