LA Lakers Injury Update Before Portland Clash
The LA Lakers prepare to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, November 4, seeking a better outcome after their previous loss on October 27. That game saw the Lakers missing several key players, contributing to a 122-108 defeat.
Players Potentially Returning
- Luka Doncic - Missed three games due to a left finger and leg injury but is expected to return.
- Marcus Smart - Absent for two games because of a quad injury; likely back for the rematch.
- Jaxson Hayes - Sat out three games with a knee problem and could be available.
None of these three were listed on the injury report during the Lakers' recent 130-120 victory over the Miami Heat, and all completed the game without issues.
Injury Concerns Persist
- LeBron James remains an injury concern.
- Deandre Ayton, the Lakers' significant offseason signing, missed the recent game due to back spasms after experiencing discomfort in the previous match against the Memphis Grizzlies.
