LA Lakers Injury Report: Will LeBron James Play Against Denver Nuggets tonight?
From a winning road trip to LeBron James’ questionable status against the Nuggets; get the lowdown on the Western Conference race, where the Lakers are trying to climb up the playoff ladder.
On the road trip, the Los Angeles Lakers wrapped it up with a three-game winning streak. The Lakers capped it off by defeating the Boston Celtics without the team's star players, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis made a comeback for the next game and helped the Lakers put an end to the New York Knicks' nine-game winning streak. The Lakers snagged another win against the Charlotte Hornets. In the LA versus Charlotte, Anthony Davis pulled off a triple-double.
However, the Los Angeles Lakers have a question mark for the upcoming game against the Denver Nuggets. LeBron James is listed as questionable. He is still dealing with tendinopathy in his left ankle. The 39-year-old power forward has already missed a few games recently. So, if he sits this one out, Small Forward, Taurean Prince, and Shooting Guard, Max Christie might have to step up.
