Brad Turner provided an update on Thursday about the Los Angeles Lakers’ injury statuses for their Friday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Anthony Davis remains out, but LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, Markieff Morris, and Dennis Schroder are all expected to play after resolving their respective issues.
The Lakers have lost five of six since Davis went down with an Achilles injury, and scoring has plummeted. LeBron and Co. are averaging 103.5 points per game, which is a long way off their season average of 111.5. LA is fresh off a 114-89 beat down at the hands of the NBA-leading Utah Jazz.
