That&#8217;s three stars watching Game 1 from the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>For the Lakers, that means being severely depleted in a series that now rests on the shoulders of the man who wears the crown. LeBron James (41) has been beating Father Time with Reaves and Doncic on the shelf, going 23 points and 9.2 assists over the last five games, helping the Lakers close out the season with three consecutive wins.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what to know about the Lakers&#8217; injuries as they enter the series vs Houston:<\/p>\n<p><media-gallery-promo asset-id=\"89459187007\" class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-large\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"presto-h2 wp-block-heading\">Luka Doncic injury update<\/h2>\n<p>The Lakers have a huge hole in the lineup without Doncic, losing the 33.5 points, 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game he was averaging.<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"390\" outstream=\"\"\/><partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" class=\"spacer-large\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>Suffering a hamstring injury on April 2, the Lakers have merely stated that the star is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nba\/lakers\/2026\/04\/18\/luka-doncic-injury-update-lakers-rockets-playoffs-game-1\/89676307007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">out indefinitely<\/a>, not committing to whether the 27-year-old might return later in the first round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"related-link\"><span class=\"exclude-from-newsgate\"><strong style=\"margin-right:3px\">Lakers injuries: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nba\/lakers\/2026\/04\/18\/luka-doncic-injury-update-lakers-rockets-playoffs-game-1\/89676307007\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Is Luka Doncic playing for the Lakers in Game 1 vs. the Rockets?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"presto-h2 wp-block-heading\">Austin Reaves injury update<\/h2>\n<p>Reaves was injured in the same April 2 blowout loss to the Thunder that Doncic was, suffering a Grade 2 left oblique muscle strain.<\/p>\n<partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/><cta-atoms-container-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/cta\" class=\"spacer-large\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As noted above, Reaves shares the same outlook as his LA counterpart.

In that time, James has averaged 26.8 points per game and the team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/team\/1610612747\/onoffcourt-traditional?SeasonType=Regular+Season&amp;LastNGames=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">enjoys a +\/- of +20<\/a> when he is on the court.
