The Los Angeles Lakers will be incredibly short-handed when they take on the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.
Already without Anthony Davis, who is for out at least a month with a right foot injury, the Lakers will also be without LeBron James (left ankle soreness) and Russell Westbrook (left foot soreness) when they take on the Suns.
The injury list doesn’t end there, however, as both Austin Reaves and Juan Toscano-Anderson are also inactive, leaving Los Angeles with just nine available bodies.

Los Angeles is taking Phoenix on the second half of back-to-back games, after defeating the Washington Wizards 119-117 on Sunday night.
After a nightmare start to the season, the Lakers (13-16) have somewhat steadied the ship and currently sit just three-and-a-half games back of the Sacramento Kings for fifth in Western Conference.
However, a big reason for their resurgence was the play of Davis, and after his latest injury, the Lakers will have their work cut out for them as they try and keep pace in a competitive Western Conference.
