NBA Injury News

LeBron James will miss his first game of the season on Wednesday as he’ll rest in the second leg of a back-to-back, according to The Athletic and Stadium’s Shams Charania. The Los Angeles Lakers have listed James on the injury report for most of the season with an ankle injury, but played every game until today.

The Lakers will likely be without Marc Gasol who missed Tuesday’s due the NBA’s health and safety protocols, and the statuses of Kyle Kuzma and Alex Caruso are unclear.

The Dallas Mavericks are closely monitoring Luka Doncic ahead of their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday. Doncic is a new addition to the injury report and has been listed as questionable with a tight back. Doncic has missed one game all season, resulting in a 10-point loss for the Mavs.

Tobias Harris has been listed questionable ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers’ matchup with the Utah Jazz tonight. Harris continues to deal with a knee contusion and he has missed the past two games with the injury.

Buddy Hield is officially questionable heading into Wednesday’s game against the Lakers with an ankle injury. Hield suffered a sprained ankle in the closing moments of the Sacramento Kings’ loss on Sunday and did not participate in practice Tuesday.
