The Lakers released an updated injury report on Tuesday morning before their matchup against the New York Knicks later this evening, and it made one thing clear: This game could get really, really ugly.
Not only is LeBron James (one-game suspension) OUT, but rookie guard Austin Reaves has been downgraded to back to OUT — he was previously upgraded to DOUBTFUL, and Frank Vogel says he would be playing if it was up to him — as he misses a second week with a hamstring strain. Adding illness to injury is that Anthony Davis is now QUESTIONABLE to play with what the team says are non-COVID-related flu-like symptoms.
