Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Probable for Tuesday
Vanderbilt (heel) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Vanderbilt saw limited action in his 2023-24 season debut Saturday against the Rockets (14 minutes), and he's back on the injury report leading up to Tuesday's clash. The team will likely give him the green light closer to tipoff.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Probable for Tuesday
Davis (groin/hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Davis is unsurprisingly back on the injury report leading up to Tuesday's matchup, but he should be cleared to play closer to tipoff. He's coming off another impressive showing Saturday against the Rockets, scoring 27 points to go along with 14 rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 37 minutes.

Lakers' LeBron James: Game-time call vs. Phoenix
James is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to a left calf contusion, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
James continues to find his name on the injury report with a calf issue, but it hasn't forced him to miss any time. Expect confirmation on his availability for Tuesday to arrive closer to tipoff.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Expected to play Tuesday
Hachimura (nasal fracture) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Hachimura was available for Saturday's game against the Rockets, but he did not see the floor, as the Lakers opted to give him one more game off. Hachimura is expected to wear a face mask to protect his nasal fracture and will likely see limited minutes in his return to game action.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Minimal role in season debut
Vanderbilt (heel) played 14 minutes and finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in Saturday's 107-97 win over the Rockets.
Vanderbilt was cleared to make his season debut Saturday after sitting out the Lakers' first 20 games while recovering from a left heel injury he sustained early in training camp. The 24-year-old finished the 2022-23 campaign as a starter in the frontcourt alongside Anthony Davis, but Vanderbilt may have to settle for a bench role if the Lakers prefer to support Davis and LeBron James with more shooting.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Solid total from bench
Reaves finished with 18 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 win over the Rockets.
Reaves looked more like the 2022-23 version of himself Saturday, making shots all over the floor during the win. He also looked great last Thursday and had put up several double-digit totals with the second unit, but coach Darvin Han doesn't seem ready to put Reaves back in the starting lineup yet. Taurean Prince isn't playing well enough to keep Reaves on the bench, so a change may come sooner rather than later.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Dominates in victory
Davis registered 27 points (10-22 FG, 7-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 victory over the Rockets.
Davis extended his double-double streak to nine games Saturday. When Davis is healthy, there are few players who can contain him, and although he has some lingering hip pain, you wouldn't know it from his totals. Only Nikola Jokic sports a higher rebound average than Davis, who is averaging 12.5 boards per game.

Lakers' LeBron James: Stops game with 360-degree layup
James amassed 16 points (7-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 victory over Houston.
James' acrobatic 360-degree reverse layup worked Crypto.com Arena into a frenzy at the end of the second quarter, adding yet another brilliant highlight to his massive collection of eye-opening shots throughout his career. James and Anthony Davis are performing at an extremely high level, making the Lakers a force to be reckoned with in the In-Season Tournament.

Lakers' Max Christie: Moves to bench
Christie will move back to the bench for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Cam Reddish is back from his groin injury and will reclaim his starting role for the Lakers. The Lakers are finally getting healthy for the most part, so Christie's minutes are likely to trend down.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Cleared to play
Davis (groin/hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNetreports.
Davis has been playing through probable tags for weeks, but he certainly hasn't looked limited. In his most recent game versus the Thunder on Thursday, Davis poured in 31 points with 14 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Will play against Houston
Hayes (elbow) will be available to play Saturday against the Rockets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Hayes has been battling soreness in his elbow since Nov. 29, and while the issue kept him out of Thursday's loss against the Thunder, he should be available here. Hayes will find it difficult to see many minutes, as Rui Hachimura and Jarred Vanderbilt will also return to action Saturday.

Lakers' LeBron James: Upgraded to available
James (calf) has been upgraded to available for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
There are no surprises here, as James has often been included in the injury report only to be upgraded to available shortly before tip-off. James has been excellent of late and is averaging 22.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game over his last five appearances.

Lakers' Cam Reddish: Available for Saturday
Reddish (groin) is available for Saturday's game against Houston, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reddish did not play in Thursday's game against the Thunder, though his absence was more of a precaution. Reddish has made a huge impact on the defensive end for the Lakers this season, and it's likely that he has a sizable role.
