Lonnie Walker IV injury status vs. the Celtics?
As with the past few games, Walker was once again tagged as questionable to play on Saturday night. The 6-foot-5 guard/forward is still dealing with left knee tendinitis, which has now sidelined him for an extended period. However, in a rather surprising turn of events, it was confirmed right before tip-off that Walker will be available to play.
LeBron James was also given a questionable tag, but at this point, we all know that this means that the four-time league MVP will be available against the Lakers' most bitter rivals. Anthony Davis is also set to start against Boston.
As for the Celtics, they will be without the services of reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart and Danilo Gallinari. Robert Williams was also a late addition to the injury report, and he's now questionable to play with an ankle injury.
However, with regard to the question, Is Lonnie Walker IV playing tonight vs. the Celtics, the answer is yes.
