The interruption of the All-Star Game was not necessarily beneficial for the Lakers since the medical staff had a lot of work to resume. As the Darvin Ham players travel to San Francisco, they will be without LeBron James (ankle), Jarred Vanderbilt (foot), but also Christian Wood (knee) and still Gabe Vincent (knee).
If LeBron James should return quickly, on the other hand, it is a little more serious for Christian Wood since his absence is estimated at two weeks, and the interior would suffer from a synovium effusion.
The Warriors and the Lakers on the same dynamic
On theinjured list published by the Lakers, we also learn that Anthony Davis is doubtful due to pain in the Achilles tendon. The All-Star interior had already missed a game because of this pain, and it was against the Celtics. Without its All-Star duo, the Lakers had created a surprise victory in Boston. The good news is that Cam Reddish could start again.
In any case, this is not the ideal recovery for the Lakers, despite having good momentum with 11 victories in the last 16 matches, including three in a row. This evening they challenge the Warriors who are also playing their best basketball of the season with eight victories in 10 matches.
