Luka Doncic, Dorian Finney-Smith, Gabe Vincent & More

Los Angeles Lakers released their injury report for Wednesday’s road camp against Utah Jazz, the last game before the All-Star break, and it’s a long time.

LeBron James (left ankle tenderness) and Austin Reaves (left elbow contusion) are listed as likely. Luka Doncic (left calf stem) and Bronny James (left forearm muscle tribe) are questionable, while Dorian Finney Smith (left ankle tenderness), MAXI KLEBER (recovery of right foot surgery), Cam Reddish (personal) and Gabe Vincent (left knee health) is out .

Dalton Knecht and the newly acquired Alex Len are not on the damage report, which signales that they must be available to play in what seems to be a severe short -haired game to close the first half.

Lakers come in winners of six equal and 10 of their last 11, so the hope is that they will take care of business against a subordinate jazz team to maintain momentum that enters the All-Star break.

Being without two of their better defenders in Finney-Smith and Vincent will be tough, but if Doncic is able to play, Lakers still needs enough firepower to get a win. However, Doncic’s status will be worth monitoring, but given that he just played his first match in almost two months.

Two-way guard Jordan Goodwin has looked good for the last few games, so he will probably get rotation minutes off the bench again.

JJ Redick thinks Luka Doncic handled Laker’s debut well

Luka Doncic made her highly expected Lakers debut against the same jazz team in LA Monday night in what was a blow-out victory. Doncic admittedly to feel a little nervous about fit in purple and gold for the first time, but head coach JJ Redick felt the 25-year-old was handling everything well.

“I think he handled it well,” Redick said after the game. “When he knew Luka, whether he wants to admit it or not, there was probably a little bit of nerves that played for Lakers for the first time and the expectation our fans had this building had his teammates had our coaching staff. He gets it kind, he sees that.

“I thought he was handling it really well and he played really well tonight. He couldn’t make a 3 outside the first, but it just goes back to all our guys, he just played agenda -free basketball. He did not manage about Luka. He made it to play good basketball and play lacquer basketball. “
