Here's everything we know about the injuries to LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves and their playing status heading into the Lakers' game against the Heat.
LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reeves status vs. Heat
Given that all three of LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are questionable on the Lakers' injury report against the Heat, a concrete update won't happen until it gets closer to the start of game time.
It wouldn't be a surprise if all three players were ruled out against the Heat. At this time of the season, everyone is dealing with some kind of illness, and the Lakers have played it safe by resting key players during back-to-back stretches.
It's only the third game of a six-game road trip, in which the Lakers will visit the Orlando Magic on Saturday, then make stops against the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers before returning home to end the month.
So when the question comes up about whether LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are playing against the Heat tonight, the answer is probably no.
