Lakers Injury Report for Friday’s Game Against Celtics Revealed
The Los Angeles Lakers are set to face the Boston Celtics on Friday, marking the team’s second game in consecutive days. This matchup is part of a three-game road trip for the Lakers, who recently celebrated a thrilling 123-120 win against the Toronto Raptors.
Lakers’ Recent Performance
In their last game, Rui Hachimura made a last-second 3-pointer to secure the victory. This triumph improved the Lakers’ record to 16-5. However, they will encounter challenges in the upcoming game due to several key player absences.
Injury Report Details
- Luka Doncic will remain sidelined due to personal reasons.
- Marcus Smart is also listed as out for Friday’s game.
