The Los Angeles Lakers are facing some injury concerns ahead of their game against the Sacramento Kings. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are listed as questionable due to ankle and Achilles tendon issues, respectively. Additionally, Cam Reddish is ruled out with a right ankle sprain.

Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, Colin Castleton, and Jarred Vanderbilt remain sidelined with their respective injuries, although there’s hope for their return before the regular season concludes. Vincent has progressed to non-contact work, while Vanderbilt is also showing signs of progress.

James has been managing his ankle injury for the past few months, undergoing treatment during the All-Star break. Despite missing a couple of games in the second half of the season, he has been available for most games. Davis, on the other hand, has been dealing with Achilles tendon issues and suffered a shoulder injury against the Milwaukee Bucks, although he was able to play through it.

In their previous matchups against the Kings this season, the Lakers have struggled, going 0-3. With the game’s importance in the standings, both James and Davis are likely to make every effort to be in the lineup, despite their injury concerns.

Regarding James, his ankle soreness was described as “severe” during the recent Bucks game, leading to his absence. However, he is expected to continue playing through the injury as long as he can manage the pain effectively.
