On February 8, Beijing time, the Lakers officially announced the list of injuries and diseases of tomorrow's Battle Bucks. James (left knee sore/fluidated) and thick eyebrows (right wrist soreness) are probable (high probability of playing, 75% on the court), and Howard (back tension) is in a skillsable state (playing doubtfully, 50% on the court). Anthony (right hamstring strain) and Nunn (right knee contusion) continue to truce, with two-way contract players Dumboa and Mason Jones continuing to follow the South Bay Lakers. Currently, the Lakers are 26-28 and rank ninth in the West.
The Lakers had a preparation training today, and James said he felt good, but whether he could play tomorrow depends on how he felt when he saw it. He will continue to receive treatment around the clock and then rest as much as possible. James said his injuries did not recur or worsen. Players listed as probable are generally available, and medical experts say James should have made an early comeback, his knees were not 100% recovered, and he was playing with an injury. The case is similar to the wrists with thick eyebrows.
Vogel said Anthony will miss tomorrow's game against the Bucks with a hamstring strain and is likely to remain absent from Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. Howard missed today's training due to a back injury, and it is uncertain whether he can play tomorrow. Medical experts point out that Howard has a history of back injuries, so the Lakers should be more cautious.
Commenting on Nunn's situation, Vogel said: "He still doesn't meet the criteria for a real comeback, and the situation is not improving compared to before. "It's also bad news for the Lakers. Medical experts said Nunn had been resting for 4 months from the injury. And it means that bone contusions are generally divided into three types: 1. Subperiosteal hematoma, 2. Interosseous bruises, 3. Professional athletes with subchondral bruises tend to have more interosseous bruises, which can damage the bone marrow due to repetitive stress. When Nunn will make a comeback is still unknown.
