Injury Report: Lakers at Magic
Your Los Angeles Lakers (43-27) have traveled to Orlando to take on the Magic (33-38) tonight in an early one for everyone on the West Coast. The last time the Lakers took the court, they were embarrassed at home against the Chicago Bulls.

Tonight, the Lakers will look to get back into the win column against a Magic team that’s lost six of their last ten. Even though the Magic are without Suggs and Moritz Wagner (both OFS), they still have talented players in Banchero and Franz Wagner.
The Lakers, on the flip side, are the healthiest they have been since the Doncic acquisition. The finally healthy roster was partially the reason for disappointment Saturday night. Hopefully, the group can find some more cohesion tonight and leave Orlando with a win.
Lakers Injury Report
LeBron James (Available – left groin strain)
LeBron returned to the court on Saturday and frankly put up an abysmal performance by his metrics. Look for him to try to ease into the game tonight and get comfortable again.
Rui Hachimura (Available– left patellar tendinopathy)
Rui looked all sorts of lost on Saturday. There will be expected rust after missing some time, and hopefully, similarly to LeBron, he’ll be able to find his groove tonight.
Maxi Kleber (Out – right foot surgery recovery)
Magic Injury Report
Cole Anthony (Out – Left big toe sprain)
Cole Anthony has been having a nice season off the bench for Orlando. In 2024-25, Cole is averaging 9.6 PPG, 3.0 RPG, and 2.9 APG.
Trevlin Queen (Out – left ankle sprain)
The ex-South Bay/Summer League Laker highflyer Trevlin Queen (a two-way player for ORL) will not be suiting up tonight for the guard-lacking Magic.
Jalen Suggs (OFS – Left knee surgery recovery)
The Magic announced on March 4th that Jalen Suggs would miss the remainder of the season after having arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee.
Moritz Wagner (OFS – ACL surgery recovery)
Ex-Laker Moritz Wagner tore his ACL in a December game against the Miami Heat. Before the injury, Wagner was averaging 12.9 PPG and 4.9 RPG on 56.2% from the field.
