Spurs vs. Lakers GAMEDAY: Preview, Injury Report & How to Watch
The San Antonio Spurs visit the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night at crypto.com Arena for the fourth and final meeting of the season between the two teams.
The Lakers won the first three meetings by an average margin of 15.6 points, though the Spurs nearly came away with a win in a 143-138 loss in San Antonio on Nov. 26.
LA is coming off a 133-115 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. Despite the loss, LeBron James posted monster numbers with 46 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
The Spurs, who have lost nine of their last 11, will now have to worry about guarding fellow Lakers star Anthony Davis, as he is set to return to from injury on Wednesday barring a pregame setback after not playing since Dec. 16. LA will also see the debut of newly-acquired forward Rui Hachimura, who the Lakers received in a trade with the Washington Wizards on Monday.
