Despite some optimism after the injury, LeBron James is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks in Los Angeles after suffering a left-elbow contusion in the team's recent loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, according to the latest injury report.
James sustained the injury during the fourth quarter of the Lakers' loss when. After the play, the veteran forward was seen favoring his left arm before eventually exiting the game.
Head coach JJ Redick initially believed James would play on Sunday, but it remains uncertain what will happen a few hours before tipoff.
"LeBron has a contusion," Redick said, per SB Nation's Jacob Rude. "He's still banged up, but we think he'll be available for Sunday."
"It's pretty sore right now," James said. "What was I feeling? Feeling like one of them funny bone situations but super more intense."
Outside of this being a massive game for the sixth-place Lakers, sitting at 38-25, but Los Angeles and New York battling it out is always must-see TV.
James, 41 years old, is averaging 21.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 7.0 assists on the season.
As of now, James looks like he could play, but the decision hasn't been made yet.
