As for the Blazers franchise, it would benefit from losing on Sunday. Out are Anfernee Simons, Jerami Grant, Scoot Henderson, Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams III. Shaedon Sharpe is questionable and Deni Avdija (right thumb sprain) is doubtful.

On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers will play the Portland Trail Blazers (in Oregon). For the game, they will be without one of their best players, as Luka Doncic has been ruled out. The superstar forward is averaging 28.

A whopping 18 players are on the injury list between the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers. Scoot Henderson will finish the season in concussion protocol, while Deni Avdija is listed as doubtful and Shaedon Sharpe is questionable.
