The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for their seventh game of the NBA regular season, set to take place on Monday against the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. With a solid 4-2 start, LeBron James’ team currently holds the fourth spot in the Western Conference and is riding the momentum of a recent victory over the Toronto Raptors.
The Lakers’ injury report highlights the team’s lineup against Detroit. LeBron is expected to be on the court, as his name is absent from the report.
Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves are listed as probable, indicating they are likely to play. Meanwhile, D’Angelo Russell’s status remains uncertain due to injury concerns. Unfortunately, Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood will be unavailable as they recover from recent surgeries.
LeBron has shown remarkable commitment and durability, as he’s been present for all six of the Lakers’ games. Remarkably, he has only played an entire 82-game season once in his career. But this year, he’s openly declared his intent to be available for every game.
So far, James is averaging 22.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 49.5%.

“To be dominant at 40 years old is pretty crazy. I mean, I can barely walk to the bathroom. And this guy is still dominating. It speaks volumes to how serious he takes it. You’ve gotta give LeBron his flowers,” Noah said.
Noah last played in the NBA during the 2019-2020 season. While Noah retired a few years ago, LeBron is continuing his career and making history. Earlier this season, LeBron shared the court with his son, Bronny James, becoming the first player in NBA history to play regular-season games with his child.
