Full Injury Report: Lakers vs. Warriors
The Steph Curry vs. LeBron James matchup is always highly anticipated. The two superstars have battled it out on the game's biggest stage, and while it has been a while since they faced off in the postseason, fans always look forward to their scheduled matchups throughout the year. This excitement was reflected by the NBA placing Saturday night's Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers matchup on ABC, but unfortunately both Curry and James will be sidelined.
James was recently ruled out by the Lakers with an ankle injury, and Curry is not expected to return until after the All-Star break with a lower leg injury. The Lakers and Warriors have both been disappointing for most of this season, but both teams still have much higher hopes than their current records would suggest.
In addition to the superstars that will be sidelined in this game, the Laker and Warriors each have other names on their injury reports. For the Lakers, newly acquired center Mo Bamba is out, as he is serving a suspension for his fight with Austin Rivers. Star big man Anthony Davis is being listed as probable for Los Angeles, and their G-League assignment players are ruled out.
For Golden State, Curry will be joined on the inactive list by Andre Iguodala, Ryan Rollins, and Gary Payton II - who still has a pending trade situation that needs to be worked out.
Despite the injuries on both sides, this is a big game for two teams who need wins.
