LeBron James's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's clash with the Wizards. James put in a vintage performance on Wednesday against the Clippers but could sit out the second leg of a back-to-back to rest his ailing left ankle. The veteran superstar has skipped one game in each of the last two back-to-back situations. Taurean Prince would have a chance to move back into the starting five if James is out on Thursday. He's totaled 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in a starting role this season.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James outscored the Clippers on his own in the fourth quarter to lift the team to a 116-112 victory in the Battle of Los Angeles on Wednesday night. With James leading the charge, the Lakers pulled off a 21-point comeback in the fourth. It marks the largest fourth-quarter comeback in James' career. He masterminded the late push with a 19-point effort in the quarter, while the Clippers were limited to only 16 points across the final 12 minutes of action. James had a game-high 34 points in total with a spectacular 7-for-12 effort from deep. He shot 13-for-21 overall and completed his line with six rebounds, eight assists, and two blocks. James has been a man on a mission since returning from the All-Star break, averaging 30.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 9.7 assists in three games with 57 percent shooting from behind the arc.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) was originally listed as questionable but head coach Darvin Ham said that he will in fact play on Wednesday night. That means the Lakers will at least have their two superstars against the Los Angeles Clippers and they even get Cam Reddish (ankle) back for the first time in a month. The King will remain in his usual starting role and should remain in any fantasy starting lineup as well. He's played in the team's last two games while delivering a double-double last time around and a 30-point game the time before that. Fantasy managers can expect a higher-scoring affair for the battle of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently tagged as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran forward is back on the injury report due to a left ankle issue. James was able to play on Sunday and didn't appear to be slowed down by his ankle. It's worth noting that Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set. Possibly, the Lakers hold out James on Wednesday, so that he can play on Thursday versus the Washington Wizards. If that happens, Taurean Prince would move into the starting lineup, increasing his fantasy value.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has a $51.4 million player option for next season, but at this point, it's unknown what James is thinking on that option. ESPN's Brian Windhorst believes James "is angling to sign a multi-year deal in the offseason with the Lakers that will be nine figures." Although James continues to defy his age on the court, the future Hall of Famer will be 40 years old during the 2024-25 campaign.
