Lakers vs. Bucks: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Thursday
The Los Angeles Lakers play the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (25-30) made a big trade on Wednesday, sending out Russell Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones and a 2027 lottery-protected first-round draft pick for D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt. But amid the excitement of the deal is the cold reality that the team has lost two games in a row and five of its last eight.
If it is to get back on track now, it will have to do so against a Bucks team that has quietly won eight games in a row. They recently welcomed Khris Middleton back from injury and appear to be gearing up for a run at their second NBA championship in three seasons.
