On Monday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will hit the road to take on the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers are coming off an impressive win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, made even more noteworthy by the fact that Luka Doncic sat out with reported back tightness.
Now, the Lakers' injury report for their game against the Hawks has come out, and fans will be pleased to know that Doncic is not listed, meaning he should be good to go for this matchup.
Austin Reaves, however, is listed as questionable for the matchup due to an illness. Quentin Grimes is out due to a finger sprain.
Reaves and Grimes both had strong games on Sunday in Detroit, with Reaves scoring 43 points in the surprising road win over the Pistons, which pushed the Lakers' record to 9-2 on the season.
Meanwhile, fans accused Doncic of ducking the matchup with elite perimeter defender Ausar Thompson in order to preserve his historic stats to start the season, although he will be forced to deal with Hawks wing Dyson Daniels in the matchup in Atlanta on Monday night.
Overall, it's been an impressive start to the year for the Lakers, and the win in Detroit helped quiet complaints from some about the team's lack of wins against quality opponents.
