Tonight, LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (Achilles), Jarred Vanderbilt (foot), Gabe Vincent (knee), Christian Wood (knee), and Cam Reddish (ankle) are among the players whose status is uncertain, adding to the prolonged ιnjury report from Los Angeles.
It is probable that James, Davis, and Reddish will all make their respective rosters, as all three were inactive in Saturday night’s loss to the Nuggets for Los Angeles.
However, the remaining components have been eliminated, as Vanderbilt, Vincent, and Wood have all sustained protracted absences due to various lower-body injuries.
Vanderbilt’s absence will be greatly regretted, as he oversaw the substitution of star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander during the team’s December victory in Oklahoma City.
In his absence, Los Angeles will likely rely on one of their inferior wing defenders—Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell, or Taurean Prince—who is highly unlikely to be effective.
