Injury Report: Bucks at Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers host the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in their fifth game of the new year. The team is 5-5 in their last ten games, so tonight is a great opportunity to start building momentum. The Lakers have four players listed on the injury report, while Milwaukee has one player already ruled out.

Lakers Injury Report

Lebron James – Available (Foot/Scatia)

The 22-year veteran is listed on the injury report again as he continues to manage two different injuries. James missed the Lakers’ last matchup in the second half of a back-to-back. He will be back in the lineup tonight.

Rui Hachimura – Out (Calf)

Hachimura has been ruled out again tonight, nursing a calf injury. He’s missed the Lakers’ last five games but is now listed as day-to-day.

Austin Reaves – Out (Calf)

Reaves has been diagnosed with a grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain and will be re-evaluated in late January. He’s missed the last six games.

Adou Thiero – Out (Knee)

Rookie Adou Thiero will miss at least three more weeks with a right MCL sprain.

Bucks Injury Report

Taurean Prince – Out (Neck)

Prince is the only player listed on the Bucks’ injury report, and he’s been ruled out with a neck injury. The Bucks applied for a Disabled Player Exception for Prince earlier this month, indicating that they anticipate that he’s “substantially more likely than not” to be unable to play through June 15, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
