The LA Lakers have the recipe to disappoint their fans tomorrow. The Christmas Day games are one of the season’s most important and most viewed games. On top of it, the fans revisit the ultimate rivalry between Stephen Curry and LeBron James, as the league set the stage way before the regular season began. However, what’s the point of the stage if there are no performers? Yes, King James and Anthony Davis fall in the injury report.

No one’s to blame for the injuries. As we all know, injuries are part of this game. But it’s unfortunate that the superstars of the league get injured ahead of the holiday game.

According to Ryan Ward, a Lakers Nation reporter, the team listed Bron, AD, and D’Angelo Russell in the Questionable category, citing various injuries. The team listed the NBA scoring leader citing left foot injury management and AD and D’Lo for left shoulder contusion and left thumb sprain, respectively.

Last night after the disappointing loss against the Pistons, LeBron James spoke about facing Steph on Wednesday night’s challenge. He said, “Anytime you give an opportunity to be on a court and compete against one of the greats that played this game and you know, you don’t take it for granted.” Moreover, he also addressed the uncertainty facing him in a similar setup once again, considering their time left in the league. Unfortunately, everything is in the hands of the medical staff to let us witness the magic.

Anyway, apart from the trio, the LA side also listed:

• Jaxson Hayes (Out) – Ankle
• Jalen Hood-Schifino (Out) – Hamstring
• Jarred Vanderbilt (Out) – Right foot
• Christian Wood (Out) – Left Knee

On the other hand, the Warriors, coming off a frustrating loss against the Pacers, have a simple injury report. The team has listed Gary Payton II in the Questionable category, citing a calf injury. Other than that, it’s a clean report.

LeBron James & Co: Starting Lineup and Depth Chart

Heading into the season, the Lakers had a lot of expectations surrounding their performance after the inclusion of JJ Redick. While they went off to a 3-game winning streak, the team began to face the reality. The team lacked the assets to withstand the competition in the West. However, 29 games into the season, the team has managed to stay with a positive record.

Last season, the Lakers faced the Warriors multiple times, and it was an exciting event every single time. Especially during a contest at Crypto.com arena, the game went into double overtime. LeBron James put 36 points and a career-high 20 rebounds and ultimately won the game for the Lakers (145-144). Stephen Curry dropped 46 points and fell short by one point in the exciting contest. Will we have a repeat of it? Let us know in the comments.
