The Los Angeles Lakers are navigating through their own injury woes as they head into their clash against Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, March 13 at the Fiserv Forum. The Lakers are on a two game losing streak as they head into the clash against the Bucks.
Will LeBron James play against Milwaukee Bucks?
As Milwaukee Bucks are all set to host the Lakers, the latter are facing injury issues as they head into the match without their veteran player, LeBron James. The other two players who will miss the clash are Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes.
LeBron James is suffering from a groin strain. According to the latest update by NBA insider Shams Charania, he reported that James is 'progressing well' and has returned to LA for further treatment. On the other hand, Jaxson Hayes is going through a right knee contusion and Hachimura is dealing with a left patellar tendinopathy injury.
Their new acquisition from the Mavericks, Luka Doncic is also suffering from a right ankle soreness, while Maxi Kleber will be on the sidelines alongside Hayes and Hachimura as he recovers from right foot surgery.
The son of legendary player LeBron James, Bronny James is also one of the players who is reported on the Lakers injury report as he will miss the clash due to a G league assignment. Dorian Finney-Smith will make a comeback after serving a one-match ban and is the only positive news coming from the camp of the Lakers. Finney-Smith will pose a great threat defensively, especially against Giannis Antetokounmpo.
When and where to watch Los Angeles Lakers vs Milwaukee Bucks clash?
The Los Angeles Lakers are in a red hot form as they are fresh of winning eight consecutive games before loosing out to Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets on the trot as they reach the halfway stage of their four-game road trip. Both matches could have ended in the favor of the Lakers but they were not able to hold onto their first quarter leads.
The Lakers have struggled due to their injury issues but their offensive game was also not up to the mark in both the losses. Not being organized in both the matches cost them the win. With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves expected to start the game, the Lakers face an uphill task against a dejected Bucks side, who are also on a two game losing streak.
The Los Angeles Lakers vs Milwaukee Bucks clash will be broadcast live on TNT, TruTV and Max. The fans can enjoy live streaming on NBA League Pass and Spectrum SportsNet will provide coverage in LA. The tip-off time for the Los Angeles Lakers vs Milwaukee Bucks clash is 7:30 pm ET.
