The big question for the LA Lakers ahead of their much-anticipated clash against the New York Knicks on Saturday, February 01 is whether Dorian Finney-Smith and Gabe Vincent feature in the match. On top of it, La Lakers will be taking on the Knicks for the first time this season.
Will Dorian Finney-Smith and Gabe Vincent play against New York Knicks?
The LA Lakers find themselves in a rather difficult spot as they deal with multiple injury issues. Their superstar LeBron James is listed as 'probable' due to a left foot injury but is expected to feature in the clash barring any injury setbacks before the start of the game. He stepped on the court in their last game against the Washington Wizards.
Rui Hachimura also finds himself on the injury list as he too is listed as 'probable' due to left calf soreness. He also played the game against the Wizards and will feature against the Knicks.
But, Dorian Finney-Smith remains as 'questionable' due to a right shoulder contusion. He was sidelined for the last game for the Lakers and will probably miss the clash against the Knicks.
Gabe Vincent is also in doubt for the clash against the Knicks as he is dealing with a left knee contusion. He missed the Lakers last three games due to his injury.
Anthony Davis will officially miss the match against the Knicks as he continues to recover from an abdominal muscle strain. It is expected that he will miss a few more games before making a potential comeback.
The Lakers find themselves in the fifth spot in the Western Conference standings with a 27-19 record from their 46 games. The Lakers will look to overcome their injury woes and secure a win against the Knicks.
