The LA Lakers and San Antonio Spurs are set to face off yet again in an interesting NBA Western Conference clash. During their last game, the former came away with a win, but that isn't guaranteed to be the case this time around.
The LA Lakers have their fair share of superstar-level talent, but the San Antonio Spurs aren't far behind. With the likes of blossoming stars such as Dejounte Murray and Lonnie Walker supporting DeMar DeRozan, fans could be in for an exciting matchup.
LA Lakers - Team News
There is some bad news for LA Lakers fans on the injury front.
LeBron James suffered an ankle injury in the opening game of the 2020-21 NBA season and the knock continues to be a problem, as insiders report he is a doubt for this game.
Losing one of the greatest players of all time will be a big blow for the team. Nonetheless, the franchise will need to keep an eye on their long-term goals and must be prepared to give James some rest before the injury worsens.
Alex Caruso will also be a doubt for this game due to health and safety protocols.
Injured: None
Doubtful: LeBron James, Alex Caruso
Suspended: None
San Antonio Spurs - Team News
Like the LA Lakers, the San Antonio Spurs only have two injury concerns, but both players are important to the team.

But with his knee reportedly in a bad condition, he is a serious doubt ahead of the game against the LA Lakers.
Additionally, Quinndary Weatherspoon has been ruled out by the franchise ahead of this clash.
Injured: Quinndary Weatherspoon
