San Antonio Spurs injury report

While Wembanyama is all set to take the floor, the same cannot be said for several of his teammates. Davis Jones Garcia is among them. The Spurs forward will not be available tonight as he only recently underwent ankle surgery on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Lindy Waters III has also been sidelined for this game because of a knee injury. While these injuries are a bit unfortunate, they aren’t something the Spurs cannot deal with entering this game, as we now shift our focus to their opponents tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers injury report

As for the Lakers, they will be without their superstar guard Luka Doncic. The Slovenian will miss this game because of a hamstring injury he has been dealing with for the past few games. It goes without saying that this is a huge blow for LA.
