The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night as they look to end a two-game losing streak. The Lakers went 1-4 on their five-game road trip and now enter this game with a 4-4 record.

The good vibes from their 3-0 start to the season are gone and Los Angeles is now trying to get back on track. Against the 76ers, Los Angeles should at least have a health advantage since Philadelphia will be without star Joel Embiid and guard Tyrese Maxey.

The Lakers had several players listed on the injury report entering this game, including Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura, Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood and Jarred Vanderbilt. Both Vanderbilt and Wood remain out of the lineup as they recover from the various surgeries they underwent.

But Davis and Hayes were listed as probable for the game. Hachimura was listed as questionable. But now we know Davis and Hayes will both be in uniform.

As for Hachimura, he will finally be back in action for the match.

Davis is dealing with a lingering foot injury, but there was always hope he would play against the 76ers. He missed the team’s last game against the Memphis Grizzlies because of this problem.

ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania recently reported an update on Davis.

“The Lakers hope that Anthony Davis will play Friday, on ESPN, against the 76ers”, Charania said. “It’s a nagging foot injury for him, a heel injury, that he’s been dealing with since the end of last season. Over the summer, (he) played with it in the Olympics. And they’re confident – there’s nothing structurally wrong with it, but (it’s) something he’s going to have to manage, from a pain tolerance standpoint, and they’re hoping for that 24, 48 hours. without this foot will help him for tomorrow.”

As for Hachimura, he also missed the last match due to illness. He’s been good for the Lakers to start the year, showing more energy on the court than in the past.

He averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Hachimura also shot 57.1 percent from beyond the 3-point line this year.

Los Angeles has a winnable game against a struggling 76ers team, so they will have to take advantage. They will play the next three games at home before hitting the road for the start of this year’s NBA Cup.
