On April 5, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season ushered in a rest day. According to the schedule, the Lakers will challenge the Suns on the road tomorrow. This game has a special meaning for both sides, the Lakers need to go all out to win to maintain the hope of impacting the playoffs, and the Suns are impacting the best regular season record in team history!
Earlier today, the Suns officially updated the team's injury list. Among them, Booker, Crowder and Ayton, who were suspended yesterday, will all return in this game. Only Saric and Kaminsky can't play on the team's injury list, and both of them have been absent for a long time. Except for both of them, the rest of the players can play. In other words, the Suns' big three Paul, Booker and Ayton will once again usher in a fit!
Obviously, this is not good news for the Lakers. On the Lakers side, james (left ankle sprain) and Davis (right center foot sprain) are in doubt, this season's reimbursement of Nunn is certainly not lucky, two-way contract player Mason Jones has returned to the development of the league South Bay Lakers.
After yesterday's loss to the Nuggets, Lakers player Davis has publicly stated that they must beat the Suns in the next game. Judging from the current lineup of the two teams, it has become very difficult for the Lakers to beat the Suns.
It is worth mentioning that the Lakers currently have a record of 31 wins and 47 losses, ranking 11th in the West, and they are 2 wins behind the Spurs. If the Spurs beat the Nuggets and the Lakers lose to the Suns in tomorrow's game, the Lakers will be sure not to qualify for the playoffs and then miss the playoffs altogether.
