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

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) isn't available for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz. The multi-time MVP logged 24 minutes in Thursday's blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns, ending the night with 10 points off a rough 3-for-11 shooting. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle in that one, so his absence could extend into Monday's meeting with OKC. That said, Anthony Davis (ankle) is the favorite to lead the team in scoring without James on the floor. At the same time, Austin Reaves and Taurean Prince could see a significant increase in scoring chances, even more so if D'Angelo Russell (knee) isn't in the lineup.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as James seems to be a regular on the injury report. Despite that, James continues to suit up and that should continue on Tuesday. If he sits, Jarred Vanderbilt figures to move into the starting five. Fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday, but James should be fine for this game.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar forward seems to be a regular on the injury report now. It's worth noting that James has only missed three games all season, so it takes quite a bit for him to actually sit out. If James does sit, Rui Hachimura figures to move into the starting five. He'd have more streaming appeal in the starting unit, but doesn't hold a ton of value behind James on the depth chart.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unsurprisingly, James is back on the injury report, but this time with an ankle injury. The superstar forward was able to play through an illness on Wednesday. However, his availability for Wednesday remains uncertain because an ankle injury is a bit more serious an a illness. If he sits, Max Christie and Christian Wood would see increased playing time. Between the two, Christie is the better streaming option. Also, Anthony Davis (ankle) would be asked to carry the team on offense if James sits out. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update on his status.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (illness), who is listed as questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Miami Heat, was present at morning shootaround ahead of the action. It puts James on the probable side of the questionable marker, but his official game status could ultimately come down to a game-time decision based on how he feels after pregame warmups. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer has done a great job of staying on the court in his age-39 campaign, sporadically missing just three games. James has settled for fewer jump shots and gotten back to driving more in 2023-24, shooting a career-high 40.9% from downtown and 53.5% from the field for his best mark since joining the Lakers in 2018-19. If James surprisingly can't suit up against his former Heat team, Anthony Davis (ankle) and Austin Reaves would run the show offensively.
