The Los Angeles Lakers released their injury report for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks and Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle soreness) is not on it, signaling he will return after a one-game absence. Luka Doncic (right ankle soreness) is questionable while Jaxson Hayes (right knee contusion) is out.

Are the Lakers in trouble? The post Lakers’ Jaxson Hayes Injury Update Raises ‘Concern’ appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with a list of injuries to some of their key players as they go down the stretch of the season, and many are looking for updates. Rui Hachimura suffered a knee injury at the end of February during the third quarter of their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Coach JJ Redick says he doesn’t “think it’s anything serious” after Hayes was hurt late in the Lakers’ OT win over the Knicks.

New Lakers star Luka Doncic has developed strong lob chemistry on the court with starting center Jaxson Hayes.

Finney-Smith is the type of 3-and-D player whose impact goes beyond his stats. His ability to muck things up on the defensive end and throw in darts from downtown offensively has been invaluable to the Lakers ever since he arrived in a late December trade.
