LeBron James' status uncertain as Lakers face Nuggets at Crypto.com Arena - Injury Report Update.

On Wednesday night's clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, LeBron weaved his magic during the fourth-quarter comeback for his team.

He scored 19 of his 34 points in the final quarter and led the Lakers to a 116-112 win after toning down a 21-point deficit. His clutch performance involved a long pass to Cam Reddish for a game-winning dunk.

In a post-game interview, James described being in the zone. He credited consistency in shot selection and syncing with the Laker's offensive strategy for his brilliant performance.

 


However, the Los Angeles Lakers' celebration looks short-lived because the team has listed LeBron James as questionable for the upcoming clash against the Denver Nuggets.

The four-time NBA champion continues to suffer from left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. His ankle remains a concern despite receiving proper treatment during the NBA All-Star break.
