Lakers Injury Report: Key Role Players' Status Revealed For Golden State Showdown

The Los Angeles Lakers have been dealing with all sorts of injuries this season, weirdly enough, not to their two-star players. Thankfully, both LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been relatively healthy all season, keeping this team afloat.

Others haven't been so lucky and the team has seen their depth tested throughout the year. They have a big challenge ahead of them tomorrow night when they welcome the rival Golden State Warriors to town.

Golden State sits right behind them in the Western Conference standings, with both teams clinging for dear life to a postseason spot in the play-in. This game will go a long way in regards to giving an edge standings-wise.

The two teams have split the two games that they have played so far, with two upcoming games. After Saturday, the two teams will face one another again in April before the conclusion of the season.

Unfortunately, the Lakers, will likely be taking on Golden State tomorrow without the services of forward Cam Reddish. Reddish has missed the last two games due to injury

Darvin Ham says Cam Reddish is unlikely to be available tomorrow vs. Golden State. “Status quo” with Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent and Christian Wood.

Reddish has taken on the role of being one of the team's best defenders this season, so this is a big loss for them. While he has been in and out of the lineup of late, they do miss his presence when he has been forced to sit out.

He has taken on the challenge of guarding some of the best players that the Lakers go up against, so having to face the Warriors without him, will be tough. On the season, Reddish is averaging 6.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game

Others on the team will need to step up against the Warriors, in what may be their biggest game of the year. Getting a win over Golden State would give Los Angeles an edge in the head-to-head series, likely helping them have a potential home game against the Warriors in any play-in matchup.
