Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

My name is Trevor Lane, and it's Game Day, Lakers versus Thunder, 6.30 p.m. Pacific time.

Tonight I'll be live right here on the Lakersnation.com YouTube channel, breaking down the game.

As it happens, it's like a party.

We'll see if the Lakers can silence the thunder.

A lot to get into today on the show presented by prize picks.

We're going to talk about the injury update for the Lakers as well as the Thunder.

Some key players going to be out potentially for this one.

Plus, we'll take a look at Rich Paul's thoughts on LeBron James and his future and get into the keys to victory for the Lakers

tonight. All right. Let's dive in. Here we go. The injury report for the Lakers. Well, unfortunately,

yep, there it is. Marcus Smart still out for this one for L.A. still dealing with that right ankle

contusion. I was already missed the last five games.

This is going to make it six for Marcus Smart.

Now out of action,

J.J. Reddick has said they won't bring him back until he's 100%.

Obviously, Marcus Smart is just not 100% yet got hurt against the Orlando Magic.

And we have not seen Marcus Smart since.

It's very important. Obviously, the Lakers get him back,

get him healthy, but this is now going to be six straight games that they will be playing without

Marcus Smart. Look, it's been a great month of March for the Lakers. 15 and 2 in March. This is the

first game of April, but they got to get Marcus Smart back in healthy, certainly for playoff time.

He is the gasoline on the fire of the big three.
