The Los Angeles Lakers are back on the court tomorrow for their sixth of eight seeding games but they might get a little bit more time to figure out their identity when they are playing without LeBron James.
According to the NBA’s latest injury report, LeBron James is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Indiana Pacers, with the Lakers citing a sore groin as the reason his status is in doubt. LeBron did not play in Thursday night’s loss to the Houston Rockets. In addition to LeBron, the status of reserve guard Alex Caruso is also questionable, according to the team’s latest injury report.
In their last game against Houston, Lakers coach Frank Vogel started Kyle Kuzma at power forward and inserted Quinn Cook into the starting lineup while benching starting center JaVale McGee for the entire game. Vogel also gave a lot of run to rookie guard Talen Horton-Tucker, whom he says is making a case to be included in the Lakers playoff rotation.
