On January 29, Beijing time, the Lakers officially announced the list of injuries and illnesses against the Hornets today, and the list that was once close to emptying was once again "overcrowded". James, Thick Brow, Westbrook and Bradley are all questionable (50% on the pitch), and Munch has confirmed that he is missing this game and has no chance to play against his old club.
James's left knee was sore, and the official update was "fluid effusion," which medical expert Evan explained meant swelling in the knee. Thick brow right wrist sore, he injured his wrist yesterday against the 76ers, playing the whole game with an injury. Westbrook developed sore right knee and Bradley's stomach. The Lakers' four main players have all entered the injury list.
Munch is the new face on the injury list, his problem is a sore left groin, the Lakers' core bench has been determined not to play against old club Hornets, in addition, Nunn (right knee bone contusion) continues to be absent, this season has not officially played.
Against the Hornets is the Lakers' back-to-back second game, and given this, it's not surprising that the Lakers expect multiple players to miss this game. The Lakers not only face back-to-back games, but also three games in four days.
Before this match, Wei Shao had not missed a game, and the wrist X-ray of the thick eyebrows was negative, but it was still a little sore. Against the 76ers, James was suspended due to sore knees, thick eyebrows 31 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks, Westbrook 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 turnovers, and the Lakers lost to the 76ers 87-105.
