Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is officially listed as probable for Friday's game against the Spurs. The 39-year-old missed the Lakers' first game after the All-Star break due to an ankle injury but is expected to return to the lineup tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) missed the team's first game back from the break due to an ankle issue that he talked about during All-Star interviews. Head coach Darvin Ham said that "in all likelihood" James will return to the starting lineup on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Giving everyone the matchup they want to see with James and Anthony Davis against Victor Wembanyama.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) won't play against the Warriors on Thursday. The multi-time MVP has battled an ankle injury of late, with multiple reports indicating he's received treatment for it. He did log 14 minutes in the All-Star game on Sunday evening. However, the Lakers are looking to make a postseason push, so the team will need James at 100%. Nevertheless, Anthony Davis (Achilles, hip), assuming he plays, is a lock for all fantasy lineups without James on the floor. On the other hand, Rui Hachimura, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, and Spencer Dinwiddie should all get more chances on the scoring end.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) was absent from practice on Wednesday and is expected to join the team in San Francisco for their game against the Warriors on Thursday. The 39-year-old played only 10 minutes in the All-Star game on Sunday and is currently undergoing treatment on his left ankle, which might potentially sideline him for the Lakers' upcoming game. Taurean Prince, Max Christie, and Rui Hachimura are all potential candidates to receive increased playing time if James is unable to play. He maintains averages of 24.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.8 assists in 34.9 minutes per game this season.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will suit up for Sunday night's All-Star game. However, per James, he'll be limited. The multi-time MVP has battled various ailments throughout the 2023-24 campaign. But he's received treatment over the last few days for his left ankle issue, with more to come moving ahead. The 39-year-old continues to make a difference for fantasy managers this season, averaging 24.8 points, 7.8 assists, 7.2 boards, and 1.3 steals. He's also shot 39.5% from deep, one of the best averages of his career. James was also recently asked about his retirement plans. Yet, he didn't provide a definitive update regarding how many more years he has left. Additionally, the 2003 No. 1 overall pick didn't specify if he'd hang it up as a Laker. At any rate, Los Angeles will have their first game after the All-Star break on Thursday evening in Golden State. Fantasy managers should expect James to have an injury designation, although there's a real chance he won't play.
