StatusActive
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. James is back in the lineup after sitting out of Friday's game. Fellow superstar Anthony Davis (shoulder) will also be active for this game. Both players are expected to return to their normal roles in the starting five. They should be fine for solid outings against the banged up Wolves' roster. Fantasy managers should make sure to get both James and Davis in there before tip-off.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will sit out Friday's contest against Milwaukee. The veteran superstar exited the last game against Sacramento early due to a lingering left ankle problem, and he will get some rest on Friday. James has played through the ailment for quite a while, so he should make a quick return to the lineup. Taurean Prince has started the two most recent games James has missed. His absence should provide a big boost to the usage of Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell. In seven games without James this season, Davis has taken his scoring average to 29.0 points, while Russell has posted 18.9 points and 6.5 assists without James.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to suffer from peroneal tendinopathy in his left ankle which knocked him out of a few games in mid-February. The trend seems to be receiving a questionable tag to start out, then he and the team decide after shootaround and warming up if he'll play or not. Fantasy managers with James on their team are used to this song and dance by now, so they'll have to wait until closer to game time to check his status. If he's unable to play, potential streaming options would include Rui Hachimura and Spencer Dinwiddie.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James missed the end of Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento due to his lingering left ankle injury. James exited the contest and limped to the locker room with 3:58 left to play in the fourth quarter. The Lakers were tailing 122-108 at the time, which could've played a big part in James' decision to leave. He was playing outstanding basketball before the exit and finished a 130-120 loss with a team-high 31 points, five rebounds, and 13 assists. James, who logged 36 minutes in the contest, admitted postgame that he didn't feel the injury at all before the fourth quarter began while noting he was completely pain-free in Monday's matchup against Oklahoma City. James has been a regular on the injury report but has played in seven consecutive games. However, fantasy managers need to monitor his status very closely, as James' body seemingly told him Wednesday to take some time off to rest. The Lakers return to action on Friday versus Milwaukee.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Unsurprisingly, James is on the injury report ahead of this game. It seems like every game both James and Anthony Davis (Achilles) are on the injury report, but both usually suit up anyway. It's not a back-to-back set, which means the chances of James suiting up are fairly high. Otherwise, Taurean Prince would likely be asked to move into the starting five on Wednesday.
