LeBron James, newly acquired Lakers guard Luka Doncic and rookie guard Dalton Knecht are listed as questionable for Monday evening’s game against the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com Arena.
James missed Saturday’s 124-117 victory over the Indiana Pacers because of left ankle soreness.
Doncic had been listed as out in all three of the initial injury reports since the Lakers acquired him from the Dallas Mavericks in a three-team trade also involving the Jazz Feb. 2. He has not played since Dec. 25 because of a left calf sprain.
Knecht was on the injury report because of what the team only described as “personal” reasons. Knecht was traded to the Charlotte Hornets Thursday as part of a package for center Mark Williams but the trade was rescinded Saturday because of what the Lakers called a “failure to satisfy a condition of the trade.”
Forward Cam Reddish, who was also dealt in the canceled trade, will miss the game because of “personal” reasons.
Bronny James is listed as doubtful because of a left forearm muscle strain. In his most recent game, the oldest son of LeBron James scored a game-high 28 points for the South Bay Lakers in Friday’s 122-104 victory over the Valley Suns, his fifth consecutive NBA G League game he has scored at least 15 points.
Guard Austin Reaves is listed as probable because of a left elbow contusion after scoring a career-high 45 points Saturday.
The Lakers (31-19) have won five consecutive games and nine of their last 10 to move within a half-game of fourth-place Houston (33-20) in the Western Conference.
This will be the third of four games between the teams this season. The Lakers are 2-0 against Utah, including a 105-104 victory Dec. 1 in Salt Lake City in their most recent meeting.
The Jazz (12-39) have won two of their five games following an eight-game losing streak. Utah is 14th in the 15-team conference.
Guard Isaiah Collier, a teammate of Bronny James last season at USC, is averaging 5.6 assists per game, the most among rookies.
The 7:30 p.m. game will be televised by ESPN and Spectrum SportsNet.
