On Saturday night, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Chicago Bulls at Crypto.com Arena in California.

For the game, they could remain without one of their best players, as LeBron James is on the injury report.

The four-time NBA Champion has missed each of the previous seven games, so this would be his eighth straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Via Underdog NBA: "LeBron James (groin) questionable for Saturday."
