Monday NBA Injury News
The Los Angeles Lakers are the team to watch on the injury front. Star big man Anthony Davis didn’t play Sunday and the Lakers are on the second-half of a back-to-back. The Lakers have also listed LeBron James and Alex Caruso on the injury report for Monday.
Per our NBA Insiders tool:
On James, Vogel said, “If he’s healthy and wants to play, we’ll put him in there.” James tweaked his sore ankle during the first half of Sunday’s win but finished out the game without issue. Anthony Davis (calf) remains uncertain after sitting out Sunday.
The Brooklyn Nets, also on the second leg of a back-to-back, could be without Spencer Dinwiddie who left Sunday’s game with a knee strain. In positive news, Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela appears to be getting closer to making his season debut for a team that has been ravaged by injures early in the season.
