Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast. My name's Trevor Lane, and it's game day. Lakers Thunder game one tonight. 5.30 p.m. Pacific time right here on the Lakers Nation.com YouTube channel. Be doing a little play-by-play. Breaking down the game as it happens. It's like a party on today's show.

I'm going to get into the injury report and the keys to victory for the series for

the Lakers.

Certainly a tough one.

The Lakers 15 and a half point underdogs going into tonight's game.

But let's start here with the injury report for both sides right now for the Lakers.

Luca Donchich still listed out.

That's it.

Everybody else good to go for the Lakers, but obviously

no Luca. That's a big deal for L.A. But Luca Donchich is indeed listed as out for this one

in game one. Now, he was at practice moving around a little bit more on the floor. There was some

footage of him doing that, taking some shots of that nature but nothing too strenuous or anything like that of course

you would not expect them to be doing anything crazy at this point in fact here's a little bit

of footage you're just doing some stationary shooting and and that's about all luka is doing right now this is via

dave mcmetteman here but so you can see he's not like running sprints up and out the court

or anything like that from everything we've heard it doesn't sound like we're going to see luka back

this week maybe gets re-evaluated towards the end of the week and we're looking at something like

next week but we'll looking at something like next

week but we'll kind of have to see where the series is at so at least we're getting some shooting

practice for luca here moving around a bit on the floor but i would not be assuming that luca is

going to be back um within these first few games of the series but other than that the Lakers injury report is clean. Austin Reeves still a go for this one. Everybody else good. Just Luca Donchard still dealing with that left hamstring strain. And I know, you know, I've had a lot of people say, well, you know, Anthony Edwards came back for game one. Why isn't Luca back? And by the way, the wolves had an amazing game last night, an upset win in their game

one.
