The LA Lakers will take on the San Antonio Spurs tonight at the Crypyto.com arena. The Lakers have been struck by a sudden ordeal. They lost four in a row before returning to winning ways the other day against the Suns. The reason behind the sudden plummet is nothing other than the departure of the team's talisman, LeBron James. He has been out injured and will remain out for tonight's game as well. In his absence, Luka Doncic is expected to rise and take the onus, but he is also facing injury issues of his own. Thus, as the Lakers are scheduled to be in action yet again, let's take a look at the squad's injury report to determine the status of the Slovenian.

Luka Doncic Injury Report
Luka Doncic is unfortunately listed in the injury report released by the Lakers ahead of the game against the Spurs. He is marked as "probable" for the game. Therefore, he may or may not play. However, considering his recent consistency he will be expected to feature tonight as well.
Luka Doncic started slowly at the Lakers but quickly picked up pace. He has begun to showcase his mettle in the Lakers outfit. But to further gain the confidence of the Lakers' fans, he would need to shine and lead the team to victory in the absence of LeBron James. The Slovenian was able to pull off his magic against the Suns, can he do it again tonight, is the question.

LA Lakers Injury Report
Aside from Luka Doncic, five more players are listed on the LA Lakers injury report. Namely:
- Lebron James: Out due to groin injury
- Dorian Finney-Smith: Probable due to ankle injury
- Rui Hachimura: Out due to Knee injury
- Luka Doncic: Probable due to an Ankle issue
- Trey Jemison III: Out due to illness
- Maxi Kleber: Out due to a foot injury
Spurs on the other hand have injury issues of their own. De’Aaron Fox (hand) and Victor Wembanyama (illness) are out for the season, leaving Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle to carry the offensive load. San Antonio, at 28-38, is playing for pride but could capitalize if Doncic is sidelined.
Despite the injuries, an exciting matchup is in the offing between the Lakers and Spurs. So, let's see how this one goes.
