Lakers' LeBron James remains out, Anthony Davis questionable for tonight's matchup against the Thunder.
For the second consecutive game, the Lakers will be without LeBron James, the team announced this afternoon before their matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
James injured his right ankle after colliding with a player in the Lakers’ win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, but he was able to continue playing in the game.
Toward the end of regulation in Tuesday night’s win, Anthony Davis took a scary fall, after bumping knees with Spurs Dejonte Murray. Thankfully, it wasn’t as serious as it initially looked, as Davis powered through and helped the Lakers win it in overtime.
Davis is questionable in tonight’s matchup against the Thunder in Russell Westbrook’s second return to Oklahoma City in another uniform.
The Lakers will also be without Talen Horton-Tucker, Trevor Ariza, and Kendrick Nunn in tonight’s matchup against the Thunder, as they still remain out from injuries. There is a possibility that veteran guard Wayne Ellington could make his debut tonight after missing the season’s first four games with a hamstring injury.
Ellington is listed as questionable tonight against the Thunder, who looks to make his season debut in his second stint with the Lakers organization and have an immediate impact off the bench for the purple and gold.
