sprain

Hayes was listed as probable on the initial injury report with a right ankle sprain, but was upgraded to available after the shootaround.

The only thing that’s slowed him down is injuries: a left finger sprain and a left leg contusion suffered in the second game of the season in which he still put up 49 points.

James has been out all season with right sciatica irritation, and Doncic has been out since last Sunday with a left finger sprain and a lower left leg contusion.

The Lakers said Doncic has a left finger sprain and lower left leg bruise and will be reevaluated in about one week.

The team’s standout shortstop had also not played anywhere in 47 days since he was sidelined with a sprained knee.
