Is LeBron James Playing? Lakers vs Wizards Injury Report Released


The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the lowly Washington Wizards in what will be their second-to-last home game before they embark on a six-game road trip.

The Lakers will look for their 23rd win of the season and their 15th in front of their home crowd.

These are crucial games the Lakers must come out on top of as they look to climb their way in the Western Conference standings.

They must win this game, and luckily, they will have their superstar forward, LeBron James, on the court.

James, who was on the injury report due to left foot injury management, has been upgraded to available.

James continues to appear on the team's injury report but didn't appear to be in any danger of sitting out Tuesday's clash. The expectation was that the team would officially clear him closer to tipoff, which ended up being the case.

The 40-year-old superstar was seen at the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame National Championship on Monday night in Atlanta, Georgia. He was seen sporting Ohio State gear, as he holds that team near and dear to his heart.

While that was all fun and games for James, it is now back to work as they look to get back in the win column.

The last time we saw James on the court, he was solid, but the rest of the team wasn't. He recorded 25 points to lead the team and game, shooting 9-for-20 from the field, five rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, and one block in 35 minutes of action.

For the first time this season, the Lakers were defeated by their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers and this contest could have been worse. No other Laker scored more than 20 points, and the bench combined for 18 points between six players.

The page has now turned, and they'll look to do just that. The Wizards have lost 10 games in a row, and the Lakera cannot squander this opportunity.

The Lakers are 14-6 in home games. Los Angeles is seventh in the Western Conference, with 26.4 assists per game, and James is averaging 8.9.

As for the Wizards, they are 1-17 on the road. Washington allows the most points in the league, giving up 122.8 points while allowing opponents to shoot 47.6 percent.

The Lakers are heavy favorites in this matchup with a -13.5 spread.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
