Per Trudell

Darvin Ham expects both LeBron and AD to play (listed as “probable”) against Indiana.

LAL lead 16-14.

Per McTen

LeBron James took a tumble and came up favoring his left ankle. The Lakers called timeout and his longtime athletic trainer, Mike Mancias worked on his ankle on the bench. James ended up subbing out of the game following the timeout and went to the back for further evaluation.

Wenyen Gabriel (left shoulder sprain) has been downgraded to out for tonight’s game in Cleveland.

The Lakers say he will be re-evaluated by team doctors in approximately one week.

Per Trudell

Gabriel, who’s been a key bench rotation player, will be re-evaluated in about one week, which means he’ll miss the next three games on L.A.‘s road trip (at CLE, TOR and DET).

https://twitter.com/lakersreporter/status/1600162766261723144?s=46&t=475AMmA1G6fVe3kmg0ukMw

Wednesday at Toronto
Friday at Philadelphia
Sunday at Detroit
