Lakers Injury Report: LeBron James, Anthony Davis Downgraded For Dallas Game

Could LA be short three starters?

Future Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Famers LeBron James and Anthony Davis may join injured LA shooting guard Cam Reddish on the sidelines tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.

Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports that Davis is considered probable to play through his lingering left hip/adductor spasms. Rookie guard Jalen Hood-Schifino also is probable to play through his ongoing right patella contusion. James, however, is merely questionable, as he continues to deal with the effects of a left calf contusion.

Reddish is dealing with left adductor soreness and has already been ruled out.

If the Lakers really were to lose three starters, it's going to be a pretty anticlimactic game, although perhaps that was already to be expected given that it would transpire on the second night of a back-to-back set, with two aging stars.

Jarred Vanderbilt (left heel bursitis) and Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion) remain out, per the NBA's latest injury report.

Maybe this is why Dallas is currently a -3 favorite to win, in Los Angeles, tonight.
