Los Angeles Lakers, Return
But Los Angeles has managed nicely without a true legitimate starting center option.However, it seems that the Lakers' fortune could be changing as we get closer to the postseason. According to NBA insider Jovan Buha of The Athletic,
Recent reports indicate there is optimism that Los Angeles Lakers forward Maxi Kleber could return before the end of the regular season.
Maxi Kleber, a veteran big man who was thrown into the Luka Doncic trade, has been out since late January due to a foot injury.
Doncic isn't the only player the Lakers have listed on the injury report. LeBron has been ruled as probable due to left foot injury management. Jordan Goodwin, Rui Hachimura and Maxi Kleber have all been ruled out. Austin Reaves, who missed Sunday's game, has also been ruled questionable.
The Los Angeles Lakers updated the statuses of Austin Reaves, Jordan Goodwin, Luka Doncic and LeBron James against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Two Mavericks starters from last year's NBA Finals are on different teams, and Doncic thinks they played well together.
The Los Angeles Lakers have several players who could potentially miss Sunday's game vs the Clippers due to injury.
Los Angeles takes on New Orleans aiming to prolong its six-game win streak. The teams match up Tuesday for the first time this season.
