Lakers vs. Pistons Injury Report

In the midst of the longest win streak of 2025-26, the Los Angeles Lakers (46-25) look to take on an injury-riddled Detroit Pistons (51-19) team on Monday night.

Los Angeles has some leeway while making a playoff push in the Western Conference. The Lakers are currently the No. 3-seed while holding a 2.5-game lead over the No. 4-seed Houston Rockets.

While battling injuries of their own, the Detroit Pistons attempt to keep their grip on the top seed in the East. The latest NBA injury report provides updates for both teams.
