Lakers Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Austin Reaves (left heel bruise) and Cameron Carr (illness) for Sunday’s road game against the Phoenix Suns, while Collin Sexton, Adou Thiero, and Bronny James are questionable due to various injuries and illnesses.
- Quentin Grimes is returning to action after missing two games with a right finger sprain, providing a potential boost amid the team's injury challenges.
- The Lakers are taking a cautious approach with Reaves’ heel injury, prioritizing his long-term health given the team's strong 11-2 start and a relatively forgiving upcoming schedule.
- An illness is affecting multiple players in the locker room, including Carr and James, which could leave the Lakers short-handed at the guard position if Sexton is also unable to play.
- The Lakers have an undefeated 3-0 record on their current road trip, with Luka Doncic expressing confidence that a 4-0 finish against the Suns would further build the team’s morale before their upcoming home games.
