Lakers vs. Kings injuries for tonight’s game
Anthony Davis and LeBron James are listed as questionable tonight. Davis is on the more probable side of playing tonight where James missed the last game with an ankle injury. Los Angeles will be without some key bench players, as Cam Reddish, Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent, and Christian Wood are all ruled out.
Only Keegan Murray is listed as questionable for Sacramento tonight. He missed the game vs. Milwaukee on Tuesday due to an ankle sprain. The Kings started Keon Ellis in his place and will likely do so again in the event of Murray’s absence tonight.
