The LA Lakers will take on the Denver Nuggets tonight at the Ball Arena. The Lakers have been hit by injuries and all of a sudden, they are yet again in a precarious situation and the threat of losing a fourth game in a row looms. A week ago, they looked as good as any but LeBron James picking up an injury has halted the progress of the Lakers. Luka Doncic, who carries as impressive skill as King James, is also dealing with lingering injury issues. As both the star players are simultaneously nursing their respective injuries, the Lakers' strength has been severely deteriorated, resulting in losses. As LeBron James was expected to recover sooner than expected, let's see the Lakers' injury report and determine his status for tonight's game.
LeBron James Injury Report
LeBron James will remain out for tonight's game against the Nuggets. James, who suffered a groin injury against the Celtics last week will require more time to recover. James, who has been a cornerstone for the Lakers this season, is averaging 27.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 7.7 assists over the last 20 games. His absence could prove to be extremely vital in tonight's game.

LA Lakers Injury Report
What adds to the misery is Luka Doncic is also ruled out for the game against Denver. And that's not it, the Lakers' injury report also lists Maxi Kleber (foot) and Rui Hachimura (knee) as out, while Jaxson Hayes is day-to-day with a knee issue.
Here's the entire LA Lakers injury report:
- Luka Doncic: Out due to calf injury
- LeBron James: Out due to groin injury
- Maxi Kleber: Out due to foot injury
- Rui Hachimura: Out due to Knee injury
- Jaxson Hayes: Day-To-Day Knee
- Dorian Finney-Smith: Probable due to ankle injury
- Tray Jemison III: Probable due to illness

On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets' injury list is not fairly different from the Lakers. A total of seven individuals are listed in the Nuggets' injury list, including star center Nikola Jokic, who is marked as "probable" for the match.
