Out for at least two more weeks

Vanderbilt underwent surgery on his right foot during the offseason but his recovery has been slower than expected. He's yet to appear in a game this season and will need at least two weeks more before retaking the hardwood.

Doubtful to play Thursday

James has not logged NBA action since Nov. 10, and he has compiled just 16 total minutes this season. His ultimate availability Thursday will not relevantly affect the Lakers' rotation.

Rui Hachimura

Uncertain to face Magic

Hachimura has missed three straight games due to a sprained right ankle and is at risk of missing a fourth straight. If Hachimura can't go, expect Dalton Knecht, Max Christie and Cam Reddish to see an uptick in minutes.

Returns to injury report

Davis and Rui Hachimura (ankle) represent key members of the Lakers' rotation with injury designations heading into Thursday's contest. That being said, Davis has only missed one game this season and appears firmly on track to suit up Thursday. He averaged 27.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 5.0 blocks across two contests versus Orlando last season.

LeBron James

Double-doubles with 12 assists

James was visibly impressed with Dalton Knecht's performance, and the rookie was partly responsible for the All-Star's lofty assist total. James an Anthony Davis both scored 26 points, and their ability to record big numbers simultaneously is a big reason why the team is off to a 10-4 start. The duo sometimes suffers with poor results rom the supporting cast, but Knecht's three-point barrage allowed them to make plays and keep the defense guessing.
