LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot), Devin Booker (groin), Russell Westbrook (foot) out Suns-Lakers
The list of injuries continues to grow for Monday night's Suns-Lakers game at Footprint Center.
LeBron James (left ankle soreness), Anthony Davis (right foot soreness), Austin Reaves (right ankle sprain), Russell Westbrook (left foot soreness) and Juan Toscano-Anderson (right ankle sprain) are ruled out while Patrick Beverley (right calf soreness) is available.
Westbrook was a late scratch. ESPN reported Davis is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the foot injury.
James, Westbrook and Reaves both played in Sunday's 119-117 win over the Wizards in Los Angeles. This is a second of a back-to-back for the Lakers (13-16).
As for the Suns (18-12), Devin Booker (groin soreness), Jock Landale (concussion protocol), Cameron Payne (right foot strain) and Duane Washington Jr. (let hip muscle strain) are out while Deandre Ayton (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable.
Booker and Landale both played in Saturday's 118-114 home win over New Orleans as Booker scored a season-high 58 points in the comeback victory.
Booker had missed two games with left hamstring tightness against the Pelicans and Rockets last week before returning Thursday against the Clippers to conclude a four-game road trip.
Payne and Ayton suffered their injuries in last week's loss at Houston and have missed Phoenix's last two games.
James didn't play in the Nov. 22 game Phoenix won at home, 115-105, over the Lakers, but Davis did as he scored a game-high 37 points. Reaves and Beverley also played in the game that got heated between the two teams.
Beverley body checked Ayton in the back for what he described as Ayton standing over Reaves, who was laying on the court after getting fouled by Booker with 3:55 left in the game.
The NBA suspended Beverley three games without pay for the incident. Chris Paul was out that Nov. 22 game with a sore right heel.
Cameron Johnson (knee) remains sidelined after tearing his right meniscus in a Nov. 4 home loss to Portland while Jae Crowder hasn't been with the team all season.
Crowder and the Suns "mutually agreed" he wouldn't attend training camp as the Suns have been trying to trade the veteran forward.
