In a postseason rematch of the playoffs from the previous year, the Golden State Warriors will compete against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, there is a possibility that LeBron James will not participate in the game.

On the Warriors’ injury report, Chris Paul, Gary Payton II, and Moses Moody are the three players that have been noted as having sustained injuries. Chris Paul is out because of a fracture in his left hand, Gary Payton II is sitting out because of a strain in his left hamstring, and Moses Moody is sitting out because of a strain in his left calf. It has been reported that Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are all available to participate in the game.

On the injury report for the Los Angeles Lakers, there are five players listed as having sustained injuries: LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Cam Reddish, Gabe Vincent, and Maxwell Lewis. LeBron James is a questionable candidate due to a peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle, Anthony Davis is a questionable candidate due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, Cam Reddish is out due to a sprain in his right ankle, Gabe Vincent is out due to surgery on his left knee, and Maxwell Lewis is a probable candidate owing to an illness that is not caused by COVID as well.

In the event that both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are unable to play tonight, the Golden State Warriors will be dealt a significant blow. Nevertheless, it will undoubtedly snuff out all of the excitement that has been building up for tonight’s clash. This evening, the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers will, to everyone’s surprise, compete against one another for the very first time in the current season. The Lakers have a record of 3-1 in the regular season and 4-2 in the playoffs from the previous season. 

Tonight, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, the Golden State Warriors square off against the Los Angeles Lakers.
