The Lakers have announced that LeBron James and Anthony Davis will not play Thursday night.

Davis is dealing with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and left hip spasm, while James is suffering from left ankle peroneal tendinopathy.

It is currently unclear whether it will be the only missed game for the superstar duo.

Davis has been playing his healthiest season in years, competing in 46 of the team's 49 games before the injury. James, meanwhile, played in 44 games. Both of them are clearcut leaders of the Lakers, with Davis averaging 24.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, while James is registering 24.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in each contest.

With 24 wins and 25 losses, the Lakers are currently 9th in the Western Conference.
