Lakers vs. Suns: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Dec. 21

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Los Angeles (16-15) is on a two-game losing streak as the league’s health and safety protocol decimated the team’s roster. Now Anthony Davis is out for about a month with a knee sprain. The Lakers are extremely short on talent and depth, which isn’t a good sign considering the opponent.

Phoenix (24-5) is simply one of the best squads in the league and has proved last season’s success wasn’t a fluke. The starting lineup is the same as last year; the Suns will have all of their key players. Frank Kaminsky and Abdel Nader have missed over 14 games in a row, but the Suns still have the firepower to potentially blow out an L.A. team with no depth.

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

  • Date: Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021
  • Time: 10 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: TNT, Spectrum SportsNet
