The Lakers will be seriously undermanned in Friday's road game vs. Nuggets, with Luka Doncic and other key players out

It will be the Austin Reaves show as the Los Angeles Lakers end their four-game road trip against the Denver Nuggets. LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes all returned to L.A.

On the other side, the Lakers will also be shorthanded. Los Angeles has ruled out LeBron James, who continues to recover from a groin injury and they have also ruled out Luka Doncic due to left calf injury management and a right ankle sprain.

Center Nikola Jokic and guard Jamal Murray are both on the injury report entering the game. Both players have been listed as probable for this game and will play against Los Angeles.
