Christian Koloko

Davis was initially listed as questionable, but was upgraded to probable. He's trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Kings. If he were to have a setback and miss the game, Christian Koloko is next up on the Lakers' depth chart.

James and Davis routinely appear on the Lakers' injury report, but the former did miss two games last week. Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent replaced James in the lineup for those games, with the latter being the more likely choice if needed on Saturday. As for Davis, a potential absence would push Christian Koloko up on the depth chart.

Wood is set to start doing live work with coaches soon, while Hayes is working on strengthening his ankle and will have a clearer update next week. While this is certainly progress, there still isn't a firm timeline for either player. Christian Koloko will continue to be the backup center until Wood or Hayes returns.

The Lakers have listed Davis as probable for this issue numerous times, with the star big man ultimately playing. Fantasy managers should operate under a similar assumption for Sunday's game. Christian Koloko will figure more prominently in the rotation if Davis cannot play.

Hayes re-injured his right ankle on Tuesday and has missed the Lakers' last two games since then. Christian Koloko will be the backup center until Hayes returns, but he won't see enough minutes to be worthy of a roster spot in fantasy hoops.
