The Los Angeles Lakers released their injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 5 tilt against the Denver Nuggets.

Of note, big man Anthony Davis is questionable after suffering a left ankle sprain late in Thursday's win while superstar running-mate LeBron James is probable to play despite a sore right groin.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether seemingly minor injures to Davis and James would prevent either from suiting up with a chance for the Lakers to clinch a trip to the Finals.

There are a few other minor injury notes ahead of Game 5. Alex Caruso (sore right wrist) and Danny Green (volar plate injury in his left ring finger) are both probable.

Finally, Dion Waiters, a depth guard option who hasn't played since Game 2 of the Lakers' Western Conference semifinals matchup versus the Houston Rockets, is questionable due to a sore left groin.
