LA Lakers Injury Report (Dec. 13): Latest update on Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent's status

The LA Lakers will face Victor Wembanyama for the first time in the 2023-24 NBA season when they visit the San Antonio Spurs. The Lakers are playing on the second night of a back-to-back. That may leave them thin on their rotation.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis said they are uncertain about their availability for tonight after the team's tough 127-125 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Both players have taken one night off since they sustained their respective injuries.

James has dealt with a calf contusion since the Lakers' 122-119 win over the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 10. Davis has hip spasms and an adductor injury since the Lakers' 108-107 road loss to the Miami Heat on Nov. 6. Both stars missed the following games, but have played in every game since.

While James could take the night off citing rest, Davis may miss the game because he has aggravated his hip injury against the Mavs. Both players will be questionable and game-time decisions.

Meanwhile, Jarred Vanderbilt, who was questionable against the Mavericks, will carry the same status. He dealt with lower back spasms and missed the game against the Mavericks. With James and Davis uncertain, Vanderbilt could suit up after missing last night's game.

Gabe Vincent is the other player listed on the report. The former Miami Heat guard is out indefinitely because of a left knee effusion.

Here's the full injury report for the LA Lakers:

Player Name	Injury	Status
LeBron James	Calf contusion	Questionable
Anthony Davis	Hip spasm	Questionable
Jarred Vanderbilt	Lower back spasm	Questionable
Gabe Vincent	Left knee effusion	Out
