Lakers vs. Spurs: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Dec. 23

The Los Angeles Lakers play the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Los Angeles (16-16) is on a three-game losing streak right after winning three games in a row. Everything has seemingly gone south for L.A., from Anthony Davis’ MCL injury to players and coaches in the league’s health and safety protocol. The fortunate news is LeBron James’ ankle scare against the Phoenix Suns isn’t expected to hold him out.

San Antonio (12-18) is 5-5 in its last 10 games, so the team has picked up its form lately compared to the overall record. Dejounte Murray has posted three triple-doubles in his last five games, and his length has given L.A. trouble in both matchups this season. The Lakers won both games, though LeBron didn’t play in either contest. James will be on the court this time, but his star teammate, Davis, will not.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: Thursday, Dec. 23, 2021
  • Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: Spectrum SportsNet
