The LA Lakers faced a challenging matchup against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, following the All-Star break, and fell short in a 128-112 loss. LeBron James notably sat out, contributing to the Lakers’ struggles as they faced a strong Warriors squad.
Injuries plagued the Lakers, with key players like Cam Reddish and Jarred Vanderbilt also sidelined. Vanderbilt has been absent for seven consecutive games due to a mid-foot sprain sustained on February 1st. Prior to this, he missed the first 28 games of the season. Reddish, dealing with a sprained right ankle, has missed 11 games, last playing on January 23rd.
Joining Reddish, Vanderbilt, and LeBron on the injury report are Christian Wood and Gabe Vincent. This accumulation of injuries poses a challenge for the Lakers as they prepare to face the San Antonio Spurs in their next game.
