LeBron James, Anthony Davis Statuses Revealed

On By Littum

The Sacramento Kings have parted ways with head coach Mike Brown, and their first test with interim Doug Christie will come against their star-studded division rival, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Riding a five-game losing streak and falling to 13-18 on the season, firing Mike Brown was the “easy” solution for the Kings, but probably not the right one. The unanimous 2023 NBA Coach of the Year gave Kings fans hope for the first time in nearly two decades, but was kicked to the curb as soon as the team faced adversity.

Regardless, the Kings are moving on and it’s time to see what Doug Christie can do with this roster. Facing the Lakers on Saturday is a big test for this team as they try to snap their five-game skid and get back on track.

Each team has released their injury reports ahead of Saturday’s matchup in LA.

Devin Carter – OUT (G League)

Domantas Sabonis – Doubtful (illness)

Anthony Davis – Doubtful (ankle)

Rui Hachimura – Doubtful (disease)

Jaxson Hayes – Doubtful (ankle)

Jalen Hood-Schifino – OUT (hamstring)

Bronny James – OUT (G League)

LeBron James – Doubtful (Illness)

Maxwell Lewis – OUT (G League)

D’Angelo Russell – Likely (thumb)

Jarred Vanderbilt – OUT (foot)

Christian Wood – OUT (knee)

The Lakers have a packed injury report for Saturday’s matchup, with superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis both listed as “doubtful.” The Lakers are 3-0 against the Kings this season, and having their All-Star duo available on Saturday would give them a likely chance to sweep the season series.

Kings star big man Domantas Sabonis is dealing with an illness for the second game in a row as he was sidelined in Thursday’s loss to the Detroit Pistons. Sabonis has been fantastic this season and the Kings definitely need him on the court to get back on track after the recent chaos.

The Kings and Lakers tip off at 7:30pm PT in LA on Saturday.
