Lakers rookie Bronny James is listed questionable due to illness.
Los Angeles Lakers (20-16) prepare to resume the NBA regular regular season amid LA wildfires as they take on San Antonio Spurs (18-19) on Monday night. First of the two-game series was postponed but the second matchup will go ahead at Crypto.com Arena.
Lakers are back on the court after a five-day layoff and they were routed by the short-handed Dallas Mavericks in the previous game. JJ Redick’s side is on a two-game losing streak and posted a 12-5 record at home this season.
On the flip note, San Antonio Spurs are coming off a 121-105 loss against the Bucks and fell to a poor 6-11 record on the road. It will be a good battle between LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama.
Here, we break down the key injuries for each team and their potential impact on this clash.
Time: Monday, Jan. 13 | 10:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles
