Ahead of the Lakers vs. Mavs, the latest injury report update isn't bad news

The starting lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers against the OKC Thunder changed again, but this time head coach Darvin Ham had the same lineup he used on the season opener that was then abandoned due to different circumstances.

The starting five vs. OKC Thunder that is set to repeat tonight vs. the Dallas Mavericks are D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, LeBron James, Taurean Prince, and Anthony Davis. Darvin returned to this lineup in part because of Cam Reddish's absence due to a knee injury, the forward will be missing several games and has been the starter since early on the campaign.

Ahead of tonight's game against the Dallas Mavericks, the latest Lakers injury report update suggests the exact same situation the team had vs. OKC Thunder to now have against the Dallas Mavericks.

Cam Reddish and Gabe Vincent are out for the game, with LeBron James listed as questionable as he has been for a long stretch of the season but almost every night has been on the court and finally, AD is listed as probable.

Darvin Ham's reason for the latest Lakers starting lineup

"Wanted to put as much skill and shot-making around our captains and those guys have been our most consistent guys. And for the foreseeable future, that's gonna be our lineup," said coach Darvin Ham.
