The Los Angeles Lakers will be a bit shorthanded on Tuesday night when they try and secure another important win against the Utah Jazz at the Vivint Arena. LeBron James and D'Angelo Russell have both popped up on the injury report and were somewhat in danger of being forced to sit out Tuesday's key matchup. However, James was upgraded and will play while Russell has been ruled out. Anthony Davis, who is still recovering from a right foot stress injury, was also listed on the report, which left fans wondering: Is Anthony Davis playing tonight vs. the Jazz?

Anthony Davis injury status vs. Jazz

The good news for Lakers fans is that Davis was listed probable to play, per the official injury report. But Lakers beat reporter Mike Trudell confirmed that Davis will indeed be active for the game against the Jazz.

The only complication here is that the Lakers are playing on the first night of a back-to-back set. They have another game coming up on Wednesday against bitter cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers. Anthony Davis sat out the second night of the Lakers' last back-to-back set for rest purposes, so this should be factored in when looking at AD's final status for Tuesday's clash.

The Jazz, on the other hand, have already ruled out Lauri Markkanen due to a hand injury. Jordan Clarkson, Walker Kessler, and Rudy Gay are also out, but Collin Sexton will play in his first game back since the All-Star break.

Now, with regard to the question of Is Anthony Davis playing tonight vs. the Jazz, the answer is yes.
