LA Lakers injury report: Trouble brews for JJ Redick as concerns grow on Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and 3 key players vs Pelicans (Mar. 4)

The LA Lakers will square off against the New Orleans Pelicans in a regular-season game on Tuesday. Ahead of the matchup between the two Western Conference teams, trouble is brewing for Lakers coach JJ Redick as five key players are on the injury report, including Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

Doncic is listed as questionable due to a right knee contusion. He played in the Lakers' win over the LA Clippers on Sunday, but afterward, he mentioned struggling with his right knee after taking multiple hits to the same spot.

"Third straight game, the same spot," Luka Doncic said. "So, I was kind of struggling on that right leg. But I’m good."

Austin Reaves is also listed as questionable due to a right calf strain. He missed the previous game against the Lakers and his availability for the Pelicans game will depend on how he feels leading up to tip-off. The team previously announced that the star guard will be day-to-day with this latest injury.

LeBron James, on the other hand, is listed as probable due to left foot injury management. Unless there are any last-minute setbacks, the veteran forward is expected to play against the Pelicans.

Meanwhile, Rui Hachimura (left patellar tendinopathy), Jordan Goodwin (right ankle sprain) and Maxi Kleber (right foot surgery recovery) have all been ruled out.
