Lakers Injury Report: Celtics Rotation Piece To Miss LA Matchup
Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports

The Boston Celtics have announced via their official X/Twitter account that reserve center Luke Kornet, who had previously been considered questionable to play due to a left hamstring strain, has officially been ruled out for tonight's matchup against your Los Angeles Lakers.

Across 33 contests for Boston, the 7'2" big man is averaging 5.3 points on 68.5% shooting from the floor and 89.7% from the foul lie, 3.9 rebounds, a block and 0.9 assists.

Every other rotation player for head coach Joe Mazzulla's 37-11 squad is healthy. 

Los Angeles, meanwhile, will be missing All-Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, plus a pair of backups in point guard Gabe Vincent and small forward Cam Reddish, neither of whom would have done much to cure what will ail LA tonight, but both of whom are pretty much guaranteed rotation run in head coach Darvin Ham's lineups.
