This night the Los Angeles Lakers will try to extend it to six their streak of consecutive victories by hosting the not irresistible Utah Jazz, last in the standings in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 10 defeats, but in all likelihood they will have to do without Bronny James. In fact, the name of LeBron James‘ son appeared on the yellow and purple injured list His status is “in doubt” (therefore equal to a 25% chance that he will be available to coach JJ Redick) for one contusion to the heel of the left foot. Bronny must have been injured in the last game played with the South Bay Lakers in the G League, finishing with 4 points and 2/10 shooting in 25 minutes in the loss to the Stockton Kingsgiven that no injuries had previously been reported. Not that it changes anything for the Lakers: In fact, Bronny is not part of Redick’s rotation (he has only played 16 minutes so far this season in five games, almost all of which was garbage time after the result was won) and in front of him are numerous guards which deserve more spacefrom starters Austin Reaves and Cam Reddish through D’Angelo Russell, Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht. The Lakers are also expected to be without starting forward Rui Hachimurawho has missed the last two games with a sprained ankle but is “making progress,” according to Redick: his return should take place during the weekwhen the Lakers will also face Orlando and Denver at home.
