Lakers vs. Pistons: Lineups, injuries and broadcast info for Friday

Here’s all you need to know ahead of Friday’s Lakers versus Pistons game.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Detroit Pistons on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

After four full days off, the Lakers will return to the court looking to build momentum after their 116-103 win on Sunday over a surging Brooklyn Nets team.

LeBron James has missed their last two games with a strained adductor, and although he may not be ready to return, L.A. will still likely get some reinforcements back. Guard Dennis Schroder and center Thomas Bryant are expected to make their regular season debuts after recovering from thumb injuries.

The Pistons, meanwhile, are in full rebuilding mode and participants in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes. They played on Thursday night, losing to the Los Angeles Clippers, 96-91, at Crypto.com Arena.
