LeBron James is dealing with several injuries right now, but it's his foot that the Lakers are more concerned about.

The New York Knicks receive an injury update on a key bench piece ahead of their matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luka Doncic had 35 points and eight rebounds, Austin Reaves added 25 points and the Los Angeles Lakers overcame LeBron James' injury absence to grind out a 110-97 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday.

The stars came out for a sun-splashed Sunday afternoon in downtown Los Angeles. Inside Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers hosted the Knicks in a nationally televised showcase between two of the NBA’s most historic franchises — two cities that see themselves not merely as markets but as cultural capitals.
