D'Angelo Russell - Likely to go Friday Russell is probable for Friday's game against the Suns due to left foot soreness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Russell has been battling a nagging foot injury throughout April that held him to just 15 minutes in Sunday's win and forced him to sit out the opening leg of a back-to-back set Tuesday. Considering he ended up playing 40 minutes in the closing half of the set and was termed probable for Friday's tilt, he should be expected to be a full go against Phoenix.

LeBron James - Questionable Friday James (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Impact James has been listed as questionable for every game since he came back from the foot injury, but he hasn't yet missed a game, so he feels a bit closer to probable. Managers can expect to get official word on his status closer to Friday's tip.

Anthony Davis - Questionable for Friday Davis (foot) is questionable for Friday's contest against Phoenix, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Davis has been dealing with nagging foot soreness for the past couple of weeks but he hasn't missed any contests since mid-March. After the center just played both legs of the Lakers' most recent back-to-back, it's possible they end up letting him play again Friday in a game with playoff implications. Expect Wenyen Gabriel and Jarred Vanderbilt to both see increased minutes if Davis is forced to miss time.
