LeBron James Injury Report
LeBron James is listed in the injury report revealed by the Lakers tonight. He is marked as "probable" due to a left groin strain. Therefore, he may or may not play tonight. However, considering he returned to the floor against the Bulls the other day, chances are fair that he will feature tonight.
There are no words that can define the impact LeBron James brings to the game. The arguable GOAT of the game has been ever consistent and with the arrival of Luka Doncic in the squad, James is playing freely at the frontline. He will be expected to come up with the goods again tonight.

LA Lakers Injury Report
Aside from LeBron James, two more players are listed on the LA Lakers injury report. Here's the entire sheet:
- LeBron James is probable due to a left groin strain
- Rui Hachimura is questionable due to left patellar tendinopathy
- Maxi Kleber is Out due to a right foot injury
Orlando Magic are also dealing with injury concerns of their own. Starting guard Cole Anthony (toe) and reserve wing Trevelin Queen (ankle) are both questionable, leaving Orlando potentially shorthanded in the backcourt. Even worse, the team has already lost two key contributors for the season-Moritz Wagner (knee) and Jalen Suggs (quadricep). Wagner's absence hurts their frontcourt depth, while Suggs' defensive energy and playmaking will be sorely missed.
Having beaten in the last two games, the Lakers will be expected to come out all guns blazing tonight. Nevertheless, Orlando Magic are also known to throw a punch. An intriguing battle awaits, let's see who comes out on top in this one.
