Thunder at Lakers 11-4-21
Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2021 12:51 pm
OKC (1-6) @ LAL (5-3) 7:30pm Pacific Standard Time
The Lakers will be without LeBron James for "at least one week", sources have told ESPN. An abdominal muscle strain, suffered in the Lakers' 119-117 victory over the Rockets on Tuesday, is the reason. In addition, both Anthony Davis (knee) and Dwight Howard (neck) are listed as "day-to-day" but should be available. SG Wayne Ellington (hamstring) has been upgraded to "probable", and SG Talen Horton-Tucker is still mending from thumb surgery but was cleared to shoot around on Tuesday. G Kendrick Nunn (ankle) is still being evaluated for a bone bruise and could return soon, while SF Trevor Ariza (ankle surgery) is still out for at least another month.
The Thunder are not a formidable team, but with all the injuries the Lakers are suffering early on this season, a win is by no means guaranteed.
