Report: Lakers release critical injury report for Game 1 of NBA Finals

The Los Angeles Lakers may be at full strength for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and their bench may even get a bit of a boost.

Their injury report shows that several of their key players are likely good to go to start the championship series.

Davis sustained his injury during the Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets, yet continued to play and play well.

Waiters hasn’t played since early in the second round of the playoffs against the Houston Rockets. If he gets action, his ability to break defenses down and create his own shot could be a boon for L.A.

James has been dealing with a sore groin since early in the season, but it hasn’t seemed to affect his mobility or level of play.

He truly cherishes the Kobe Bryant-era of Lakers basketball and the five world championships that came with it, and is looking forward to the team's next NBA title.
