LeBron James, who took a nasty fall on Thursday after making a layup and hurt his elbow, will be out of action. So will starting center Deandre Ayton, who left Thursday's game early and was ruled out due to knee soreness, and backup big man Maxi Kleber.

At the start of the second half in the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, Jaxson Hayes got the nod to start over Deandre Ayton.

Ayton ​left with 3:34 remaining in the first quarter ​after committing ​a foul on Julian Strawther.

There is some major NBA action set for Friday, March 6 as there are seven games set to take place featuring some of the league’s best squads.

Indiana comes into the matchup against Los Angeles as losers of seven games in a row.
