NBA Injury News

Jamal Murray, who has missed four games in a row, including Sunday’s game against the Boston Celtics, is again listed as questionable on Monday with knee soreness.

Lonzo Ball is doubtful for the third game in a row after previously returning for the Pelicans for three games. Ball has been dealing with a hip injury since late March and has missed nine of the past 12 Pelicans games.

The Los Angeles Lakers continue their road trip with a game against the New York Knicks Monday and have a hobbled bunch. Kyle Kuzma, Wesley Matthews and Marc Gasol are listed all listed as questionable for tonight’s game. Kuzma has missed the past two games with a strained calf, Gasol missed Saturday’s game with hamstring injury and Matthews sat with a sore Achilles.

The Lakers do have some encouraging news surrounding the return of their two stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Davis will be re-evaluated on Thursday and could return in 10-to-14 days while James is reportedly on track to return to the lineup in about three weeks.
