Lakers Face Thunder Without Key Guards, LeBron Questionable
7 Apr
Summary
- Lakers host Thunder for season finale, seeking revenge.
- Doncic and Reaves are out; LeBron James is questionable.
- Thunder have won all three previous matchups this season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night in their final regular-season matchup. The Thunder secured a decisive 139-96 victory over the Lakers last week and have won all three previous games this season. The Lakers are looking for revenge but will be severely shorthanded.
Adding to their struggles, the Lakers are already without guards Luka Doncic, sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Austin Reaves, who is dealing with an oblique issue. Furthermore, LeBron James is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game due to left foot injury management, his final status to be determined before tip-off.
James has participated in 57 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 20.8 points, 7.1 assists, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. The Thunder will aim to complete a season sweep against the injury-plagued Lakers.
