The Los Angeles Lakers will be without LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves for Tuesday’s matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.

James has been ruled out with a foot injury, while Doncic is out with a hamstring issue and Reaves will miss the game due to a calf injury.

All-NBA streak comes to a close

James’ absence carries significance beyond the immediate game. By missing Tuesday’s contest, he is no longer eligible for postseason awards, bringing an end to his 21-season streak of earning All-NBA recognition.

The Lakers will now be tasked with navigating the Spurs game without three key contributors, including James, whose availability has been a central storyline throughout the season.
