In the latest Lakers injury report, Anthony Davis has been listed as questionable for Monday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks due to a left corneal abrasion. Alongside Davis, LeBron James is also listed as questionable due to left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. Meanwhile, Cam Reddish of the Hawks is ruled out with a right ankle sprain.

 

The Lakers continue to face injury challenges, with Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, Colin Castleton, and Jarred Vanderbilt all remaining sidelined with their respective injuries. Although there is no specific timetable for their return, head coach Darvin Ham mentioned that updates on their progress will be provided soon.

 

Gabe Vincent has recently made progress with non-contact work, and Jarred Vanderbilt is showing signs of improvement, raising hopes for their return before the regular season concludes. The focus leading up to Monday’s game will primarily be on Anthony Davis, whose status remains uncertain. Davis suffered an elbow to the eye during Saturday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors and was unable to continue playing.

 

This season has been relatively positive for Davis in terms of his health, making this eye injury all the more unfortunate, especially considering the significance of the game against the Warriors. The Lakers’ loss to the Warriors pushed them down to 10th place in the Western Conference standings, heightening the importance of every game moving forward.

 

Meanwhile, LeBron James continues to battle with an ankle issue that has been plaguing him for the past couple of months. Despite the injury, James delivered an impressive 40-point performance against the Warriors, indicating that he should be available to play against the Hawks on Monday.

Head coach Darvin Ham provided insight into Anthony Davis’s condition, revealing that the player experienced blurred vision and could not see out of his left eye after being elbowed. The Lakers’ medical staff attended to Davis throughout halftime, emphasizing the importance of his well-being. Updates on his condition are expected in the near future.

 

The Lakers will be hoping for a swift recovery and reduction in swelling so that Davis can return to the lineup as soon as possible and contribute to the team’s playoff push.
