The New York Knicks suffered the wrath of a (relatively) healthy LeBron James and Anthony Davis as the Los Angeles Lakers escaped with a hard-fought overtime victory in Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, 129-123. Unsurprisingly, both Lakers stars have popped up on the injury report again as LA prepares for their matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night.
LeBron James, Anthony Davis injury status vs. Pacers
According to the official injury report, LeBron James was initially tagged as questionable to play with a sore left ankle. As expected, however, LeBron was upgraded to available just moments before the game tipped off.
As for Davis, he was initially tagged as probable to play. It comes as no surprise that the Lakers confirmed his availability an hour or so before tipoff.
Patrick Beverley, who was also probable with a sore left knee, is also good to go. Austin Reaves remains out of commission for the Lakers.
As for the Pacers, it has been revealed that Tyrese Haliburton is expected to make his return to action following a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to knee and elbow injuries. He is officially listed as questionable on the injury report, but Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle himself said that he expects to see Hali return to action on Wednesday.
