What a Run! Lakers defense sparks 19-0 burst vs Cavs
8 months ago
Gabe Vincent - Unavailable SundayVincent has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ImpactAfter missing nearly the entire season due to an ankle injury, Vincent has appeared in three of the last four games. He will take a seat for the second half of the Lakers' back-to-back set Sunday but should return to action Tuesday versus Golden State.

Anthony Davis - Tagged as probableDavis is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota due to a hyperextended left knee, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
ImpactDavis' injury designation is likely more attributed to workload maintenance than a flare-up, especially in the context of dropping 22 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, three steals and six blocks in Saturday's win over Cleveland. Davis has dealt with lingering knee soreness since the end of March, but he hasn't missed a game since March 27.

LeBron James - Deemed questionableJames (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ImpactFor the most part, James continues to play through a lingering left ankle issue, but he may sit out Sunday's contest because it's the second half of a back-to-back set. On Saturday, he posted 24 points and 12 assists in 36 minutes during a blowout win over Cleveland. If James is sidelined, Rui Hachimura and Spencer Dinwiddie would be candidates for increased usage.

Caris LeVert - Will start SundayLeVert will start Sunday's game against the Clippers.
ImpactWith Donovan Mitchell (rest) out, LeVert will slide back into Cleveland's starting lineup. Across his previous nine starts this season, LeVert has averaged 16.0 points, 7.6 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 34.0 minutes per game.

Isaac Okoro - Will return SundayOkoro (toe) will play Sunday against the Clippers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ImpactOkoro will make his return following a four-game absence due to a right big toe sprain. His presence should help mitigate Donovan Mitchell's (rest) absence, but Okoro may be limited in his first appearance since March 29. In March, Okoro started 16 of 17 appearances and averaged 9.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 31.3 minutes per game.
APRIL 7ROTOWIRE
Donovan Mitchell - Unavailable SundayMitchell will not play Sunday versus the Clippers due to injury management on his left knee.
ImpactMitchell has been an inconsistent shell of his early-season self lately, averaging just 14.8 points and 5.8 assists on 34.5 percent shooting across his last four appearances while lacking his trademark explosiveness. Wednesday against Memphis will represent his next opportunity to take the court, with Cleveland having two ensuing contests versus Indiana on Friday and Charlotte next Sunday to wrap up the regular season. Mitchell's health for the playoffs is likely an organizational priority, but Cleveland operating in a tight competition for playoff seeding with Orlando and New York makes for a tenuous situation.
