Anthony Davis and the LA Lakers will face off against the Sacramento Kings in a 2023-24 NBA preseason match on Wednesday (Oct. 11). This will be the Lakers’ third of six preseason games, having achieved a 1-1 record in their previous two encounters against Golden State and Brooklyn. On the other hand, the Kings, with a 0-1 record, will be participating in their second of five preseason matches after losing to the Toronto Raptors in their preseason opener.
As for Davis’ availability, it seems that he will be fit to play as he is not currently listed on LA’s injury report. However, the Lakers will have to make do without superstar forward LeBron James, who will reportedly sit out for rest purposes. Additionally, forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) and wing Cam Reddish (ankle) are both listed as day-to-day and their participation in the game remains questionable.
The Kings, on the other hand, appear to be at full strength, with their injury report currently empty. Nevertheless, considering it is the preseason, Sacramento may choose to rest some of its established veteran players closer to game time.
In conclusion, the upcoming preseason battle between the LA Lakers and the Sacramento Kings will provide an opportunity for both teams to test their strengths and strategies ahead of the regular season. Fans will be eager to see how the Lakers perform without LeBron James and whether the Kings can bounce back from their preseason opener defeat.
