The Lakers are hosting the game vs. Charlotte tonight but another absence will permeate the match for the team

The Los Angeles Lakers can't catch a break as the team is set to be hosting the game tonight against the Charlotte Hornets but another injured player besides Gabe Vincent will be absent for the match.

Cam Reddish has now joined Vincent on the players that won't be available for coach Darvin Ham as the Lakers have announced that the Forward has been downgraded to out, this is bad news for Darvin Ham who won't be able to play with his most recent starting lineup.

Fans want to see Austin Reaves back at the starting five but Ham will be going without a guard, as he will send Rui Hachimura to the court instead, showing his stubbornness has no limits.

The Lakers have tonight the opportunity to get a win as in their latest game they fell to the Boston Celtics on Christmas day. The good news is that they got two days of resting and now have almost their entire roster available except Vincent and Reddish.

Latest Darvin Ham lineup raised some eyebrows inside the Lakers

With information via NBA Insider Jovan Buha: “Yes, there have been some eyebrows raised over the past 72 hours or so when the Lakers made the starting lineup change,” Buha said. “I started hearing about it Friday afternoon in talking with some people. At first, I just didn’t believe it. I was like, ‘There’s no way.’ Maybe they’re putting Vando (Vanderbilt) in because ever since training camp, Darvin has said Vando was gonna win the starting spot over Taurean Prince. He was gonna be the fifth starter again. And that was the way L.A. was planning on going into the season, but he suffered that heel injury. He misses a bunch of time.”
