LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been placed on the official injured list for the Los Angeles Lakers’ key home game against Western rival OKC Thunder.
The Lakers’ playoff chances have been hampered by injuries and fitness issues throughout the season.
They are not currently in the squad for the game so every game is important. With 19 wins and 21 losses, they are one game behind the 10th place Houston Rockets (19-19). They have won just 4 of their last 10 games. Monday’s matchup might not feature Anthony Davis or LeBron James.
The ankle problems experienced by both the megastars are classified as probable and questionable respectively.
However, Dan Woik of the LA Times thinks LeBron James will play and Anthony Davis isn’t so sure. Gabe Vincent (left knee surgery) and Cam Reddish (left knee effusion) are out for the Los Angeles Lakers. What happened to Anthony Davis and LeBron James?LeBron James has been sidelined for the past month with an ankle injury suffered since mid-December.
Although he is still not fully recovered, he was able to play. However, he did not play in Saturday’s road game against the Utah Jazz. Due to various injuries (foot, calf, knee), LeBron James missed only four of the Lakers’ first 40 games. He is averaging 24.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game. Another megastar, Entoie Davis, has missed several games over the years due to injuries.
However, the Lakers have lost just two of their 40 games so far this season.Davis, who is averaging 25.1 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists this season despite a left ankle injury, should be available for Monday’s game. When will Anthony Davis and LeBron James return?According to ESPN, LeBron James and Anthony Davis are out with injuries. With that in mind, we shouldn’t expect them to miss much time, and both could be in the Lakers’ starting lineup on Monday.
The recruitment of LeBron James and Anthony Davis is very important to the success of the Lakers this season, who have experienced ups and downs since winning the NBA regular season in early December.
