James is in his fifth season with the organization, and while they won the NBA Championship in 2020, they have missed the playoffs in two of his four seasons with the franchise.  

With how they have played this season, there is no guarantee they will make the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

As for the Trail Blazers, they are hosting the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday evening, so Wednesday's game will be the second night of a back-to-back. 

They are currently 11-9 in their first 20 games, which has them as the sixth seed in the west.

On the road, they have been impressive, with a 7-5 record in 12 games away from Oregon.
