After dropping three straight games, the Los Angeles Lakers will look to get back on track against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.
The good news for the Lakers is that their two best players will be available for the contest.
Luka Doncic, LeBrbon James will both play against Kings on Sunday night
Despite nagging injury issues, both Luka Doncic and LeBron James will be out on the floor against Sacramento on Sunday night. Neither player is listed on the official injury repor t. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Austin Reaves.
Reaves has been ruled out of the game against Sacramento due to a left calf strain. He’s expected to miss up to a month of action with the injury.
Following L.A.'s 119-96 loss to the Houston Rockets on Christmas Day, head coach J.J. Redick called out his team for an overall lack of effort and passion.
"We don't care enough right now," Redick said. "And that's the part that bothers you a lot. We don't care enough to do the things that are necessary. We don't care enough to be a professional."
Redick clearly wants to see more from his team, and a game against the struggling Kings provides an excellent opportunity for the Lakers to bounce back. Let's see how they respond.
