The Lakers get another look at the Mavericks when the two sides clash in L.A. on Friday night. The only question is: what stars will fans see suit up in the contest?
On Feb. 26 the Lakers pulled off a 111-108 victory over the Mavericks. LeBron James had 26 points and eight rebounds, but it came at a cost. James injured the tendon in his right foot and hasn't played since.
James has missed nine games in which the Lakers have gone 5-4. They sit in ninth place in the Western Conference with a 34-36 record.
Luka Doncic has missed the Mavericks' last three games with a left thigh strain. The Mavericks have gone 1-2 in his absence, as they sit just one game ahead of the Lakers at 35-35.
The Sporting News has you covered with the latest information for Lakers vs. Mavericks, including the status of both James and Doncic.
