When the Heat take on the Lakers on Wednesday night, the Heat will be looking for their third consecutive victory. Miami is 6-4 in its last ten meetings with Los Angeles.
Latest Updates on LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ injury status
The Lakers are currently on a two-game winning streak and enter this game on a high note. They’ll try to keep the momentum going by defeating the Heat, which would be their third win in a row and fourth in their last five games.
Russell Westbrook (Foot) and Lonnie Walker IV (Back) are both questionable for this game.
Anthony Davis’ foot pain has “just about dissipated,” and he’s on the mend in terms of a return schedule.
Davis will be re-evaluated during the first week of January, and it’s good to hear he’s almost pain-free. Still, pain isn’t the only issue, and the medical team will need to make sure everything is in order before Davis considers returning.
Meanwhile, LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat.
James has returned to the injury report with a sore left ankle. If the superstar is unable to play on Wednesday, Damian Jones and Wenyen Gabriel could see extended playing time.
The Heat have been playing well lately, winning four of their last five games. They’ll try to keep the momentum going by defeating the Lakers, which would be their third win in a row and fifth in their last six games.
Injury reports: Gabe Vincent (knee), Caleb Martin (quadriceps), Dewayne Dedmon (foot), and Nikola Jovic (ankle) are all questionable.
