Injury Report: Lakers at Hornets
The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off of a dream scenario type of weekend. First, beating the Celtics handily, and then Jarred Vanderbilt looked fantastic in his first game back, which was another dominating win, precisely what the city needed.
Tonight, the Lakers will play the second of a six-game road stretch against LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets.
It will be imperative that Los Angeles is able to hold their own on the board tonight because even though they just shipped Nick Richards to Phoenix, Mark Williams has been on an absolute tear lately.
Check out below who is in and who is out of tonight’s game, and watch tonight at 4 pm PST to see if the Lakers can continue their winning streak.
Both Rui Hachimura (left calf soreness) and Gabe Vincent (left knee soreness) are out for tonight’s game at Charlotte.

Lakers Injury Report
LeBron James (Probable – left foot injury management)
With tonight being the first leg of a back-to-back (playing Philidelphia tomorrow night), it will be interesting to see if the team chooses to rest either of the two Lakers’ stars. They could possibly alternate the two by resting one tonight and one tomorrow night.
Anthony Davis (Probable – left plantar fasciitis)
Gabe Vincent (Out – left knee soreness)
Gabe Vincent banged knees with another player in their previous game against the Warriors. He is expected to be back during this road stretch.
Rui Hachimura (Out – left calf soreness)
Similar to Vincent, Rui’s injury is not serious, and he is expected to return to the court during their current road stretch.
Christian Wood (Out – left knee surgery recovery)
Wood remains out as he recovers from his offseason left knee surgery.
Jalen Hood-Schifino (Out – left hamstring strain)
Hornets Injury Report
Tre Mann (Out – disc irritation)
Cody Martin (Out – core tightness)
Brandon Miller (Out – right wrist)
The young superstar and former #2 overall pick in last year’s draft will be out tonight, thankfully, as he averages 25 ppg in the brief two meetings he’s had with the Lakers.
Grant Williams (Out – right ACL)
