Lakers Injury Report: 4 LA Role Players Join LeBron James, Anthony Davis on Injury Report

The Lakers continue to be banged up.

As per usual, LA's injury report is lengthy, as tonight, LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (Achilles) are joined by Jarred Vanderbilt (foot), Gabe Vincent (knee), Christian Wood (knee) and Cam Reddish (ankle) as players whose status is in question. 

James, Davis, and Reddish can all be expected to play, with all three being out there for Los Angeles's loss to the Nuggets on Saturday night. 

The other pieces, however, have been ruled out, with Vanderbilt, Vincent, and Wood all continuing lengthy absences for an array of lower-body ailments. 

The presence of Vanderbilt will be sorely missed, as he handled the assignment of superstar guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the team's win in Oklahoma City back in December. 

Without him, L.A. will have to revert to one of their subpar wing defenders (Austin Reaves, D'Angelo Russell, Taurean Prince, or Rui Hachimura) which likely won't be effective in the slightest.
