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

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will be rested on Wednesday versus Utah. The Lakers finish off a back-to-back on Wednesday, and the veteran star will use the night to rest his left ankle, which has bothered him for a while. Despite the injury, James has featured in 13 of the team's 15 games in 2024. James fully plans to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday, and he will then have a nice break until Feb. 22, when the Lakers continue their campaign versus Golden State. Taurean Prince will likely hop back into the starting unit as James' replacement on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. There is no shock here as both James and Davis are regulars on the injury report. The Lakers seem to list them as questionable ahead of basically every game. Usually, James and Davis are able to suit up, but both players are playing through issues right now. If they sit, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes would see increased roles in the rotation.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been listed as questionable again for their Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. While James was unable to play two games ago against the Boston Celtics, he played 40 minutes against the New York Knicks on Saturday. With a heavy workload in that game, the Lakers could decide to let him rest in this one against a weaker opponent. Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) is also listed as questionable, however, so they may still need James on the floor. Fantasy managers will want to check back in for any updates as the game gets closer. If James can't suit up, Austin Reaves and Taurean Prince would see some heavy minutes while Rui Hachimura would get some more action too.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both active ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both players are back in the mix after sitting out of Thursday's contest. The return of these players means that Jaxson Hayes will head back to the bench. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) was starting for James, but he suffered an injury during Thursday's game. As a result, Vanderbilt will miss time, which should mean more minutes for Rui Hachimura and Hayes in the rotation. Fantasy managers can get James and Davis back in their lineups for Saturday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. But the biggest story surrounding the multi-time MVP isn't his health but whether he'll remain a Laker. Recent reports have surfaced suggesting he could be on his way out of Los Angeles. However, his agent, Rich Paul, shot down those rumors, stating, "LeBron won't be traded, and we aren't asking to be." Of course, anything is certainly possible, especially with Los Angeles struggling to remain in the playoff conversation. Yet, as long as James remains on the floor, which has been a challenge over the last few years, he should continue to be a valuable asset for any fantasy manager, no matter what uniform he's wearing moving ahead.
