Lakers release injury report for Thursday's game versus 76ers
· Yahoo Sports
The Los Angeles Lakers' eight-game Grammy road trip is finally over. They will return to Crypto.com Arena on Thursday to host the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that, when healthy, is clearly dangerous.
Center Joel Embiid has been on a tear lately, and guard Tyrese Maxey has played outstanding basketball all season long. For the Lakers, Luka Doncic was just named the Western Conference Player of the Month, and Austin Reaves is back after being out for over a month due to a gastrocnemius strain.
That means the team is now almost at full strength, health-wise, for Thursday's contest. Rookie forward Adou Thiero is still recovering from an MCL injury, and backup center Jaxson Hayes will be unavailable on Thursday after being suspended for shoving a mascot.

In his return on Monday versus the Brooklyn Nets, Reaves shot 3-of-9 from the field and 1-of-5 from 3-point range but scored 15 points in 21 minutes by frequently getting to the free throw line. The Lakers opened up a huge lead in that game and downed the Nets, 125-109.
