Lakers vs Bulls Injury Report

Tonight, your Los Angeles Lakers are taking on the Chicago Bulls at home. It’ll be their 4th straight home game against a Chicago team that, frankly, shouldn’t present the Lakers with a lot of difficulty.

The Lakers will be without some major pieces tonight, but hopefully the heavy hitters of Dončić and Reaves should be able to carry. Let’s see who’s in and who’s out tonight.

Lakers Injury Report

LeBron James – Questionable (Right hip contusion; left foot arthritis)

LeBron is listed as questionable going into the game tonight. It may not be the worst thing in the world if he misses the game. The Lakers, when Dončić and Reaves play, and LeBron doesn’t, are now 10-2, including some big wins recently.

Jaxson Hayes – Out (Back soreness)

The Lakers will be missing Hayes for the second straight game now. When the Lakers play the Bulls, they’ll be without one of Luka’s favorite lob threats tonight.

Marcus Smart – Out (Right hip contusion)

The Lakers’ main point of attack defender Marcus Smart will be out tonight with a right hip contusion. Somebody will need to step up in his place.

Maxi Kleber – Out (Lumbar back strain)

Although he’s not a massive contributor, Kleber has proven to be excellent depth since coming back healthy.

Bulls Injury Report

Trey Jones – Doubtful (Left hamstring strain)

Zach Collins – Out (Right toe sprain)

Noa Essengue – Out (Left shoulder surgery)

Yuki Kawamura – Out (Two-way)

Emanuel Miller – Out (Two way)
