The Los Angeles Lakers may be without some key players on Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors. LeBron James is listed as questionable due to peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle, the Lakers announced.
The 39-year-old has played in eight consecutive games for the Lakers, but his status against Toronto is up in the air. Anthony Davis is also on Los Angeles’ injured list as probable with a left ankle sprain. He played 39 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday and is expected to play against the Raptors.
Rui Hachimura is less likely to play, as he is listed as doubtful with a left calf strain. He has missed three consecutive games for Los Angeles since suffering the injury on New Year’s Eve.
Gabe Vincent remains out after left knee surgery. The 6-foot-2 guard has played in only five games this season after joining the Lakers as an unrestricted free agent in the summer.
Toronto will also be a bit short-handed with Jakob Poeltl out with a left ankle sprain. It will be his first missed game of the season after stepping awkwardly on Pascal Siakam’s foot on Sunday night.
Otto Porter Jr. is listed as doubtful with a right knee sprain. He has missed four games in a row and has appeared in only 15 games for Toronto this season.
Christian Koloko also remains out with a respiratory problem. Toronto called up Jontay Porter to bolster the frontcourt. The tall player signed a two-way contract with the Raptors earlier this season.
